Dom. de Cébène Faugères "Ex Arena" 2011

Brigitte Chevalier is a force of nature and Domaine de Cébène, created in 2006, is very much her baby. With critical aclaim from the start, Domaine de Cébène now has a dedicated and almost cult following.

Brigitte's Ex Arena (latin for “out of the sand”) cuvée comes from a parcel of  Grenache (90%) and Mourvèdre (10%) vines situated on the Mediterranean cost near Montpellier. Planted in an underlying 40m bed of alluvial deposits and sea sediment this terroir produces a wine of great concentration and complexity, yet soft and approachable....and with a lovely salinity evocative of its coastal roots. Yum!
