Domaine Rimbert

Moving to Saint-Chinian in the early 90s from Provence in his search for ‘strong and characterful terroir’, Jean-Marie Rimbert bought some old Syrah and Carignan vines from a coopérateur and began his winemaking career. He’s now one of the leading young winemakers of the appellation. His passion is evident. He speaks lyrically about his wines, the appellation, the local schistous terroir and especially the Carignan grape. He’s also very much a family man, naming two of his wines after his young children. His winemaking equipment is located in barns and outhouses around his house, in which you’re just as likely to be offered a box of freshly picked fresh apricots grown by Jean-Marie’s mother as a glass of his wonderful wine.

Domaine Rimbert - Mas au Schiste / 2001 / Red

Half aged in barriques, this rich, finely textured wine is a more serious affair. Blackcurrant on the nose with scents of the garrigue, the oak is subtle and the tannins silky. Perfect with rich, meaty and herbal dishes, such as lamb and rosemary or Daube Provençale. Learn More
