Comment

The first traces of Château d'Eyran date back to 1317. Rebuilt on the gravelly coast of Mont d'Eyran, it entered the Seze family in 1796 who still own it today. Since 1980, the management of the vineyard has been carried out by Stéphane and Brigitte Savigneux, joined in 2015 by their son Charles. Part of a thoughtful approach to environmental quality, the 25-hectare vineyard is managed with one goal: respect for the terroir. Built in 2017, its modern cellar made from traditional materials subtly combines functionality and aesthetics and offers the wines of Château d'Eyran an exceptional setting.

Tasting

This wine develops aromas of ripe red and black fruits on the nose, enhanced with subtle spicy and smoky notes due to aging in barrels. The palate reveals balance, power and a velvety touch. Beautiful aromatic persistence on the finish.
