"A real treat for this well-balanced 2022 vintage. A real treat!"
"A cuvée with a smoky, lardy, fruity nose. The dazzling Bouche composes a wine of flesh, depth, perfect intensity, neither too powerful nor plump, with a hint of reduction and a dynamic structure on black fruit and a peppery finish." (La Revue du Vin de France February 2024)

The Pic Saint Loup heritage
Pic Saint-Loup
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
Three Ravaille brothers, Jean-Marc, Pierre and Xavier, as comfortable in Pic Saint-Loup as the three fish on the labels would be in the water. For the reds, sainte-agnès blends the four main Languedoc grape varieties, while the whites are half Roussanne. The move towards biodynamic viticulture has been underway for several years. Sainte-agnès is regularly positioned as the archetypal Pic Saint-Loup red. The 2020s will nevertheless require patience.
Guide Hachette des vins
Wine rated (Guide 2025) 1*Star (Very successful wine)
Domaine rated (guide 2025) Cited (Successful wine)
About the wine:
Aged in vats and tuns, with a shallow ruby color, this vintage opens with restrained and very typical aromas of garrigue. Spices and morello cherry stretch the palette in an elegant, slender mouth, structured by fine and tight tannins. An energetic, finely sculpted, mentholated wine, very much in the spirit of the appellation.
About the domain :
This benchmark 45-hectare estate, formerly known as Ermitage du Pic Saint-Loup, backs onto the foothills of Pic Saint-Loup. It is farmed organically and biodynamically by the Ravaille brothers.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Wine rated (2024 guide) 92/100 (La Revue du Vin de France February 2024)
Domaine rated (guide 2025) 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 wine:
A vintage with a smoky, bacony and fruity nose. The bright mouth creates a fleshy, deep wine of perfect intensity, neither too powerful nor plump, with a hint of reduction and a dynamic structure on a black fruit and a peppery finish.
About the domain :
L'Héritage du Pic-Saint-Loup is a historic terroir, located on the lands of the former convent of Château de Montferrand. It was in the 12th century that the first winegrowers tilled and cultivated these pampre fields. Today, this jewel of the appellation, which backs directly onto the Pic, is farmed by the Ravaille family, who were instrumental in introducing Syrah, now the dominant grape variety in the appellation. In 1992, the latest generation, Xavier, Pierre and Jean-Marc, decided to leave the cooperative to vinify these beautiful high-altitude soils. Demanding vineyard standards, precise expression and controlled power are the hallmarks of the estate's current production, a benchmark in the appellation.
