This cuvée is inspired by the Spanish tradition of blending different harvests to create the wine that best represents the estate. Thus, Especial N°6 is based on a blend of 2015s, sublimating the characters of vintages from 2012 to 2016. With subtle aromas of red and black fruits, spices and flowers, the wine is refined, the velvety tannins enhanced by pretty notes of wilted rose. An atypical and charismatic cuvée!

Expert opinion
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Wine rated (2019 guide) 16.5/20 (N°5) (Very good wine)
Domaine rated (guide 2024) 2*Stars (These great estates, often endowed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the domain :
Rémy Pédréno and his wife Martine have been running this 9-hectare estate on the historic Langlade terroir since 1999. Having previously worked in the northern Rhône region, notably for Domaine Rostaing, this passionate winemaker from Nîmes quickly established himself as one of the region's greats, producing elegant, taut, airy wines from this marl-limestone terroir that has been renowned for centuries. Aging in tuns and a more precise management of the lees have taken this estate to a new level, and it is now an undisputed benchmark. Jeremy Stevenson joins Martine and Rémy from New Zealand, Alsace, Chile and Oregon.
