Mas Champart
Founded by Isabelle and Matthieu Champart in Saint-Chinian in 1976 and now guided by winemaker Noémie Vidil since 2023, Mas Champart farms 16 certified-organic hectares on steep limestone terraces at 210-300 metres elevation, making age-worthy, terroir-driven Saint-Chinian reds, whites, and rosé.
