The 2021 Chastel Samson Saint Maurice is a wine that speaks of place. Sourced from the Saint-Maurice appellation—one of the Rhône’s rising stars—this cuvée highlights the harmony of Grenache’s juicy red fruit and Syrah’s darker, peppery notes. The vintage brings brightness and lift, ensuring balance between power and finesse. A wine equally at home on the dinner table or in the cellar, it’s a versatile Rhône Villages bottling that overdelivers for its category.
