The estate
Domaine de Cébène was founded by Brigitte Chevalier, a former wine merchant from Bordeaux, and was born out of her desire to create authentic wines from a strong terroir. After leaving Bordeaux for the Languedoc, she chose the schist-covered heights of Faugères, convinced of the unique potential of these soils. At an altitude of 300 metres, facing the Tramontane wind, she cultivates her vines organically and biodynamically, using a natural, artisanal approach that reflects her demanding standards, her intuition and her quest for purity.

The Mourvèdre (80%) and Syrah grapes are harvested by hand with very low yields and then vinified separately in small stainless steel vats and demi-muids.
A natural fermentation process (pied de cuve) is initiated using the estate's own grapes. Long, gentle macerations, without the addition of sulphites before bottling, ensure gradual and precise extraction.
The wine is aged for 12 months in oak barrels, allowing the lees to do their work undisturbed.
