With its luminous peach color, this Coteaux du Languedoc rosé reveals aromas of exotic fruits (mango, passion fruit) and citrus fruits (mandarin orange, pink grapefruit). The attack is fresh and the palate unctuous, giving an overall sensation of finesse, enhanced on the finish by a touch of discreet bitters...

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated (2015 guide) 14.5/20 (vintage 2013) (Good wine)
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.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated (2015 guide) 14.5/20 (vintage 2013) (Good wine)
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 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.
