Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2024) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Since the 1970s, this certified organic estate has been one of the jewels in the appellation's crown, appearing in the Guide with unfailing regularity. Boasting a magnificent terroir of 70 small schist parcels (58 ha) that sculpt the landscape, today it benefits from the know-how of the younger generation, inherited from grandfather Jean and father Bernard Vidal, both former presidents of the appellation.

About the wine:
Beautiful suavity of fruit and tannins for this gourmet cuvée with bright cherry and violet aromas (40% carignan). We love its beautiful level of maturity and its easy-to-digest balance, giving it a pleasant, modern style thanks to the brightness of its fruit.
