Hecht & Bannier Saint-Chinian 2021: An Elegant and Expressive Red from Southern France

Hecht & Bannier Saint-Chinian 2021 is an organic red wine from the Saint-Chinian appellation in the Languedoc region of southern France. Crafted from a blend of 60% Syrah, 20% Grenache and 20% Carignan, it showcases the character of Mediterranean winemaking through vibrant fruit, floral aromas and savoury complexity. Founded by Gregory Hecht and François Bannier, the wine house is dedicated to selecting distinctive wines that express the diverse terroirs of southern France.

In the glass, it reveals an inviting red colour and an aromatic bouquet of ripe blueberries, cherries and plums, accompanied by floral notes reminiscent of iris and lily of the valley. The palate is juicy and expressive, with flavours of black cherry and forest berries balanced by refreshing acidity. Its supple yet noticeable tannins provide structure, while subtle mineral and savoury nuances bring depth to the finish.

The grapes are organically grown on clay-limestone and sandstone soils across selected areas of Saint-Chinian, including Combejean, Pierrerue and Assignan. Syrah contributes floral and mineral character, while Grenache brings generous fruit and Carignan adds structure and complexity. The wine is matured in inert tanks, preserving the purity of the fruit and allowing the individual grape varieties and regional terroir to take centre stage.

Serve at around 16 to 18°C to appreciate its aromatic depth and balanced structure. It pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, roasted beef, duck, game dishes and barbecued meats. For a more relaxed pairing, enjoy it with charcuterie, rustic terrines, olive tapenade or hearty Mediterranean dishes such as cassoulet and lamb couscous.

Whether shared over a grilled dinner in Downtown Dubai or enjoyed with a hearty meal on Al Maryah Island, Abu Dhabi, Hecht & Bannier Saint-Chinian 2021 brings the warmth and character of the Languedoc to your table.
