"On the superb limestone terroir of Cazevieille, a great Languedoc!"

"Deeper, Saint Agnès offers aromas of star anise and black fruit, but retains a beautiful underlying vivacity and the grain of the tannins is fine." (Le Guide RVF 2024).

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Domain rated (guide 2024) 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.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 91/100

Domaine rated (2025 guide) 2*Stars (These great estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, because of their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).

About the wine:

Deeper, Saint Agnès offers aromas of star anise and black fruit, but retains an underlying liveliness and fine-grained tannins.

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 standards in the vineyard, precise expression and controlled power are the hallmarks of the estate's current production, a benchmark in the appellation.

About the wine:

A little reduced at first, but quite convincing. Notes of red fruit, bay leaf, mint and thyme. On the palate, the fruit is juicy but the style is more punchy, the tannins are firm and present. Worth waiting for.
