La Chapelle Red – Domaine Saint Jean de Villecroze

La Chapelle Red Provence wine 2022 is the great red of Domaine Saint Jean de Villecroze: Syrah and Cinsault aged 18 months in oak, a structured, deep wine that keeps for 15 years.

Domaine Saint Jean de Villecroze

Domaine Saint Jean de Villecroze sits in the Haut-Var: 35 hectares, 12.5 of them planted with vines, around a chapel dating back to 1007. The Maurel family, winegrowers since 1802, took it over in 2025 and is converting it to organic farming. Harvesting is done by hand. La Chapelle is the estate’s top cuvée, offered by allocation. It is only made in very good years.

Four ranges make up the estate’s offer: The Lunar Collection (Lifestyle), Selladore (Signature), Côtes de Provence and Coteaux Varois (Gastronomic) and La Chapelle, by allocation.

The wine: La Chapelle Red, AOP Côtes de Provence

La Chapelle Red blends Syrah and Cinsault. After traditional vinification in stainless steel, the wine is aged for 18 months in French oak barrels. It is 14% ABV.

Tasting notes

The colour is an intense, beautiful purple. The nose is rich and complex: black fruit, blueberry, blackberry and hints of liquorice. The palate is full-bodied, with a fine tannic backbone, broad on black fruit, liquorice and tobacco. The aromatic persistence is long.

Food pairing, serving and ageing

Serve it with beef fillet and truffle or mature cheeses. Decant it to enjoy its full expression today; it also has an ageing potential of 15 years.
