Price: 210 EUR
Availability: InStock

A GSM (Grenache-Syrah-Mourvèdre) of exemplary finesse from Languedoc, produced by a domaine recently founded by Sophie and Vincent Guizard, the former partner of F. Pourtalié at Montcalmès. The Guizards have not claimed the AOP Terrasse du Larzac since 2016 and now display the simple AOP Languedoc on their labels. This matters little to us: the vines have not changed, and the wines are becoming increasingly delicious over time. It is the talent of the winemakers that interests us, along with its terroir. Not what is written on the label :-) To be forgotten in the cellar for as long as possible... especially in magnum! But it is already so good young, it will be difficult to wait!

Comments on this

Domaine Saint Sylvestre red 2020 MAGNUM

La Revue du Vin de France (July 2023): Grilled ribeye is a summer classic. But to fully appreciate this great grilling staple, you need to find the right pairing. So which wine should you pair with this prestigious cut of beef? To answer this question, La RVF sought the help of Jonathan Pral, sommelier at the restaurant Christophe Bacquié (three stars in the Michelin Guide) and the bistro San Felice, where meat grills are regularly featured. He suggests pairing different wines with a recipe for ribeye steak with thyme butter cooked on the barbecue.Which red wines with ribeye steak?

"Focus on dense reds with intense texture. Beef requires flavorful and tasty materials, similar to structured southern wines. Look towards the Languedoc region, with the famous domaine Saint Sylvestre for finesse and elegance, or towards Provence with the wines of Bandol that evoke the garrigue and spice."

Manuel Peyrondet (Best Sommelier of France 2008, Best Craftsman of France 2011): "Their cuvée Saint Sylvestre is a success every year, as evidenced by the recent harvests of 2020, 2021, and 2022. I was able to re-taste their entire range at the dawn of the Christmas festivities in 2024 and did a vertical tasting of 10 years of wines during a dinner at the Bristol. All my fellow palace and starred sommeliers were, like me: completely in awe of the journey and the wines that, beyond being excellent young, age with panache."
