Grapes grown in clay-limestone soil mixed with pebbles are carefully selected and brewed using traditional methods. The deep ruby color has a complex aroma of black fruits and spices. The powerful tannins and rich fruitiness are well balanced, and you can feel the mellowness and depth that comes from aging. You can enjoy a long aftertaste, and it is characterized by a heavy yet delicate flavor.

About the Winery

Mas Saint Louis

Mas Saint Louis

The estate was established by Jean-Louis Geniest over a hundred years ago with some family land. Jean-Louis Geniest came from a long line of coopers from the Rhone valley known since the eighteenth century. His work was continued by his son Louis and grand son Jean, a prominent lawyer and doctor of law, and by Monique Geniest, his wife who now runs the estate. The vineyard is a beautiful and homogeneous plot of over 30 hectares. Monique is focusing on the improvement of the soil works, as well as the ageing of wines. Mathieu Faurie-Grepo and Vincent Tramier are helping Monique Geniest to run the estate.
