ABOUT THIS WINE
Domaine Cassagne et Vitailles was founded in 2015 by childhood friends Matthieu Rollin and Nicolas Seffusatti. After a decade importing French wines in China, they returned to their homeland in the Languedoc to pursue their dream of crafting world-class, uncompromising wines. Located in the prestigious Montpeyroux terroir, the estate operates under the philosophy of 'Perfectus in Statera' (Perfection in Balance), aiming to maintain a holistic equilibrium with nature. 'Les Chausmes' is a meticulously crafted, limited-production cuvée designed to showcase the unique geological diversity and microclimates of Montpeyroux, representing the modern renaissance of the Languedoc region.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are strictly hand-harvested and sorted parcel by parcel from fragmented plots of clay-limestone and sandstone soils. Each individual parcel is vinified separately to preserve its microclimatic signature. Fermentation occurs naturally utilizing only wild indigenous yeasts with minimal sulfur inputs. The wine is aged for 12 months in 100% new French oak barrels crafted by the acclaimed Chassin Cooperage. To preserve its natural texture and complexity, the wine is bottled without fining or filtration.
