Note: Gault Millau 16/20, Bettane & Desseauve 15/20
"A very surprising cuvée combining finesse, minerality, power and character. The nose is compoté, marked by brandy fruit, violets and a few mentholated touches, showing a certain crispness. A beautiful and delicious alchemy". (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2012 - Gault Millau). Avec des Si... comes from an old parcel of Syrah called "la Butte", on a terroir giving the vines a moderate water supply. This cuvée has all the characteristics of the great southern Syrahs. Black fruit (blackberry) dominates, with a lovely woodiness bringing notes of sweet spices (nutmeg) and licorice...

Expert opinion
Guide des Vins Gault & Millau
Estate rated (2012 guide) 3*Stars (Very good production)
About the domain :
"Luc Baudet had the audacity to settle in this region still strongly marked by the cooperative movement. Attached to the Costières de Nîmes region, he settled at Mas Neuf. The richness of the terroirs enables him to offer three types of cuvée: Rhône Paradox, based on freshness and purity of fruit; Compostelle, the result of selection from old vines and grapes from the best plots. And finally, Armonio, born of a meeting with Louis Mitjavile (Tertre Roteboeuf, in Saint-Emilion, among others).
