Le Chai d’Émilien
The Fournel family has tended vineyards in Sussargues for many years. Situated between Castries and Sussargues, the vines benefit from excellent terroir, with most plots falling within the Languedoc and Grés de Montpellier appellations.
Over the years, each generation has nurtured and developed the estate, adapting to its surroundings with passion and skill. Today, Émilien is writing the next chapter by making and bottling his own wines, marking the birth of Le Chai d’Émilien. With support from his wife Ophélie, who manages sales, he brings out the best in these vineyards, some of which are more than 20 years old. The estate’s wines reflect this family terroir, carefully tended over generations.

Appellation: AOC Grés de Montpellier
Vineyard management: Agriculture Raisonnée (MAEC)
Alcohol content: 14,5%
Grape varieties: Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre
Soil: Clay-limestone soils.
Tasting notes: Deep in colour with violet highlights, this red wine’s nose is still marked by oak ageing, though notes of blackberry jam, ink, violet, smoke and toast are already emerging. A final hint of eucalyptus brings considerable freshness.
The wine will show its full expression from this autumn and over the following five to six years. Beyond that, its style will evolve*, but it may continue to improve if properly cellared.
