"A real treat

A blend of 80% Roussanne with Marsanne and Viognier on limestone terroir, lending an airy dimension to this Mediterranean white. A nose of flowers and citrus fruit, fresh on the palate, with a finish balanced by a saline touch, giving a long, lingering finish. Mediterranean freshness!

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Rated (2020 guide) 15/20 (Vintage 2018) (Very good wine)

Domaine rated (guide 2024) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)

About the domain :

After Bernard Durand, who accompanied the Pic Saint-Loup's conversion from sheep-dominated polyculture to its recognition as a quality wine-growing zone, Régis Valentin, his nephew, has taken over the technical reins. Without fanfare, this is an estate to seek out for its powerful yet tasty Cuvée Vieilles Vignes, its Clos des Combes and its Grande Cuvée. The Cuvée Madame is even more ambitious, and the rosé is consistently delicious.

Guide Hachette des vins

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 :

Régis Valentin, oenologist and cellar master, took over the estate created in 1960 by the Durand-Valentin families in 2001. He produces wines from 80 ha of vines (in organic conversion since 2019) occupying a beautiful terroir of hard limestone and red clay. A sure bet in the Languedoc.
