Campet Saint Marie Vieilles Vignes Saint-Chinian 2022

Named for the rolling hillside vineyards in the foothills of the Massif Central, Campet Saint Marie is an extra-dry Grenache-led blend from the Languedoc that carries the warm generosity of the southern French sun while preserving real freshness from the elevated terroir. Dark cherry, wild garrigue, warm spice, and a thread of limestone open the nose before a rounded, medium-bodied palate of boysenberry and dried herbs delivers a clean, satisfying finish with supple tannins. Drink it now through 2029 with a game-based stew or a hearty vegetarian braise. Drink date: 2026-2030. (nataliemaclean.com,Sept. 12, 2026)
