Virant Red Estate

A local wine with character

Learn more

Domaine Virant Rouge is an easy drinking wine. Like all our wines, it is made exclusively from the vines of the domain. Sébastien, our cellar master, pays particular attention to the follow-up of its production because it reflects the spirit of the Cheylan family: to make accessible to the greatest number of quality products, coming from the French Terroir and recognized for their authenticity.

Its roundness and suppleness are due to a cold pre-fermentation maceration and a short vinification perfectly controlled.

Its identification as a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) Mediterranean allows a great diversity in the choice of grape varieties that make up our Domaine Virant Rouge. Thus, we wanted an original assembly which confers to this wine beautiful notes of red fruits, currants and blackcurrants.
