Seraphin 2022 Julien Peyras

Séraphin 2022

Vineyard philosophy: artisanal care and soil authenticity

Séraphin 2022 comes from old Grenache vines grown on clay-limestone soils, following the rhythms of nature with deep respect. The viticulture is strictly organic and biodynamic, with no synthetic treatments whatsoever. Soil and vine management are entirely manual: no herbicides, no irrigation, just constant observation and minimal intervention. The health of the vineyard is the foundation for a wine that fully reflects the Languedoc terroir.

Harvesting is done by hand with careful grape selection. Yields are intentionally kept low to concentrate fruit expression, resulting in a dense, healthy grape ready to become a wine of uncompromising purity.

Cellar approach: essential and transparent

Vinification of Séraphin 2022 follows a minimal-intervention philosophy that values precision and restraint. Grapes are foot-stomped and fermented in open vats with indigenous yeasts, without temperature control or additives. The process respects the character of the Grenache grape and allows it to evolve naturally. Maceration is short, keeping the wine fresh and dynamic.

Aged for several months in stainless steel tanks, the wine is bottled without fining, filtration, or added sulfites. The result is a vibrant and sincere wine that lets the grape and the vintage speak for themselves.

Tasting notes and varietal

Séraphin 2022 is made from 100% Grenache, the emblematic southern French variety. The color is a bright purple-red with violet reflections. The nose reveals aromas of fresh cherry, wild strawberries, floral notes and a touch of sweet spice. On the palate, it is juicy and supple, with fine tannins, energetic acidity and a long, saline finish.

Domaine Julien Peyras

Viticulture rooted in deep respect for the land

Julien Peyras cultivates his vineyards in the rolling hills of Languedoc, southern France, in an agricultural context where the Mediterranean climate and spontaneous biodiversity coexist in balance. From the very beginning, his choice has been radical: no chemical intervention, neither in the vineyard nor in the cellar. The soil is worked gently, often by hand, to preserve its vitality. The vines are farmed organically, guided by lunar rhythms, fostering harmony between plant, soil, and season.

The vineyard is treated as a living ecosystem. It’s not just about growing grapes, but about observing, listening, and accompanying nature in its cycles. Julien works with old vines, many on their original rootstock, emphasizing local and resilient grape varieties such as Cinsault, Carignan, Grenache, and Syrah, which express a deeply territorial identity in his clay-limestone soils. Grass is allowed to grow freely, insects thrive undisturbed, and balance is maintained without coercion.

Instinctive winemaking with no compromises

In the cellar, Julien follows the same principle that guides him in the vineyard: letting the wine express itself, without masks or correction. Grapes are destemmed by hand and crushed by foot, just as they did in the past, in open vats. Fermentations are spontaneous, with no added yeast or temperature control. The must is handled with care and intuition, aiming to preserve the energy and clarity of each vintage.

His wines are unfiltered, unfined, and made without any added sulfur, not even at bottling. The result is a range of free, vibrant, often surprising wines, each telling the story of its vintage in a unique way. Every bottle reflects a handcrafted and uncompromising philosophy, one that resists conformity in favor of the raw truth of fermented grape juice. It’s an approach that requires trust, patience, and constant listening—as if the wine were alive.
