One of the region's top winemakers, Brigitte Chevalier chose the goddess's name Les Cevennes for her "divine" winery.

The blend consists of Syrah (> 60%), Grenache and Mourvedre. No oak barrel is used, only careful vinification, without many interventions and stainless-steel tank.
Les Bancels is harmonious and fresh, yet full and complex. Impressive nose with dense red and black fruits such as sour cherry, blueberry, blackberry and sour cherry, dressed in sweet and savory spices. Notes of violet and lavender with mild animal nuances complete the intense bouquet.
On the palate it has medium body, crisp acidity and moderate but silky tannins. Juicy cherry, blueberry, black berry and sour cherry are blended with notes of licorice, violet, black tea, pepper, all spice and nutmeg. Enjoyable, persistent cocoa aftertaste.
Les Bancèls pairs with grilled red meats, game, mushroom risotto.
