TRADUCTION
HIC & NUNC * by Domaine de Sauzet
Our nugget is indeed solid gold!
The first vintage in 2012 received a favorite from the RVF (Revue des Vins de France)
The second, in 2017, won a gold medal at the world organic wine competition
(Organic vintage).
The third, vintage 2019, has just won a gold medal at the prestigious competition
DECANTER WORLD WINE AWARD, today the most selective and rigorous in the world, with
the excellent score of 96.
There are very, very few of us who achieve this tasting score. And we
We're proud!
HIC & NUNC is a very special wine. It exists…or not.
Micro-cuvée (between 450 and 1200 bottles per vintage), it only exists if, upon tasting
of our barrels of different grape varieties, one or more “stand out” and we
tumble. Otherwise nothing.
And above all, no grape variety a priori. May the best(s) win.
Thus, the 2019 vintage is a blend of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache.
The 2020 is an almost pure Syrah, with a drop of Mourvèdre.
The next one (when?...), will perhaps be a 100% Carignan!!
Total freedom therefore, he is there or not, and when he is there….he explodes the palaces.
“Here and now” (in Latin) means enjoying every moment when he is present!
Tasting note:
A wonderfully open nose; blackcurrant, roasted meat infused with rosemary and woody notes. The palate is complex and opulent, blackberries, cherries, figs and pomegranates until the long finish

HIC & NUNC is a very special wine. It exists...or not.
A micro-cuvée (between 450 and 1200 bottles per vintage), it only exists if, when tasting our barrels of different grape varieties, one or more "stand out" and knock us down. Otherwise....nothing.
And above all, no preconceived ideas about the grape variety. Let the best one or more win.
Thus, the 2019 vintage is a blend of syrah, cabernet sauvignon and grenache.
The 2020 is an almost pure syrah, with a drop of mourvèdre.
The next one (when ?...), will be maybe a 100% carignan !
Total freedom then, it is there or not, and when it is there .... it explodes the palates.
"Here and now" (in Latin) is let's enjoy every moment where it is present !
Tasting note :
A wonderfully open nose; cassis, rosemary-infused roasted meat and oaky notes. The palate is complex and opulent, blackberries, cherries, figs and pomegranates through long finish.
