The Mas de Cynanque vineyard located in St Chinian, an AOP area in the South of France, boasts one of the best natural soils of the Languedoc-Roussillon region. It lies halfway between Montpellier and Carcassonne, at the foot of the Caroux and Espinouse hills. The domaine sits on limestone pebble hillsides surrounded by a vibrant kaleidoscope of vines and scrubland. Work in the vineyard is undertaken by hand with a great deal of respect for the environment, the stock, and the grapes. The natural limitations of the soil mean very low yields for the wines, averaging 20 hl/ha. Organic fertilizers make it possible to maintain microbial life and the structure of the soils. The grapes for this cuvée have roots in a very special red sandstone substrate. The vineyard’s ancient vines, rich in grand grape varieties traditional of the St Chinian appellation, offer the vineyard’s wines an individual complexity. The hand picking of the grapes and such attention to detail given to the exact importance of each vine, allows Mas de Cynanque to produce wines made with style and elegance. Concentration, balance, and mineral content are the key factors. Each vintage is formed totally respecting the earth, the vines, and the grapes. The diversity of the wine varieties and the soil allow us to produce 6 red wines, a rosé and two white wines, each owning its own strong personality. And when the off-season permits, some vines are left to overmature giving way to a unique late harvest.
