I enjoyed bringing the Pic St Martin 2004 to our blind tasting in 2013. Not only did this wine win unanimously against 20 other very serious competitors, but on top of that, it also is one of the cheapest... I would describe it as a wine full of character where the syrah expresses itself very well (mix of pepper, violet and liquorice), the Grenache adds a sophisticated red fruit tone (hints of kirsch) and the age reveals some delicate animal notes. Tasting this wine is an experience not to be missed, especially at this price, because it fits well above its category. Jules Hoffelt Founding member of the Oenomed Club, European Champion of blind tasting in 2008

The 5th wine comes from the domaine Cantaussel “Pic Saint Martin” 2010 vintage. The colour is very dark, dark grenat with thin legs. The nose is a mix of dark fruits (blackcurrants, mulberries) with some toasted aromas of cocoa and spices. After aeration, we still have the dark fruits with stronger peppery notes, some intensity and freshness. In the mouth, the fresh feeling remains with some silky and fine tannins and a hint of licorice. Our best pick, after many rounds of voting, went to the “Pic Saint Martin” 2010 vintage from the Domaine de Cantaussel”(...)

The Gault&Millau opinion on the wine from the Domaine de Cantaussel Minervois la Livinière Pic Saint-Martin 2011, Red
The maturing in 500 litres barrel resulted in a quite elegant wine, revealing an aromatic concentration of tobacco, coffee beans and hints from the scrubland. A young promising wine. Gault&Millau, March 2015

"Je ne sais s'ils ont été touchés par la grêle mais voilà une propriété, membre des VIGNERONS INDEPENDANTS, qui mérite d'être connue. Non seulement les vins sont proposés à des prix plus que doux, mais l'expérience que j'ai d'anciens millésimes dénote de réelles qualités, notamment sur le carignan et les syrahs. Si vos vacances vous drainent vers ce midi du soleil, faites un saut à Cantaussel."

"La Syrah du Pic St Martin 2006 est longue et élégante, matinée par la cerise gourmande du grenache." Jean D, chroniqueur vins

Vermentino 2013 : "A lovely wine, with beautifully clear aromas in the nose, light and discreet in the mouth with the white flowers notes, the wine is airy and fresh." Prix/Plaisir by Bettane & Desseauve

The Gault&Millau opinion on the wine from the Domaine de Cantaussel Minervois la Livinière Pic Saint-Martin 2006, Red

The Gault&Millau opinion on the wine from the Domaine de Cantaussel Minervois la Livinière Soleillades 2010, Red
Good quality tannins. Hints of violets, cherry, dark fruits and spice aromas. The tannins are dense but there is also a lovely freshness. A very pure wine, with a remarkable sensory expression overall. Gault&Millau, March 2015
