Spoutnik fait référence à la forme de la cuve dans laquelle la cuvée est élevée pendant 18 mois : une capsule hors du temps. Cette petite parcellaire de Syrah et Grenache se présente dans un style très aérien au fruité généreux. La bouche est fine, très élancée, sur des notes de fruits rouges, d'épices douces et de menthol. Beau potentiel d'évolution !

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Vin noté 15,5/20 (Millésime 2017) (Très bon vin)
Rated domain (2020 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production that sets the standard in its sector)
About the domain :
Christophe Peyrus, from the renowned Clos Marie, supported by three friends, has taken over an estate on the Cazevieille terroir in Pic Saint-Loup, in limestone areas at over 300 meters altitude, at the highest point in the appellation. The estate has 8.5 hectares in production, predominantly Syrah with Grenache. The estate produces two red cuvées, including spoutnik, and one white cuvée. These delicate wines need to be transported and stored with the same care as those from Clos Marie, as they are not well protected. The 2018 cuvée de pic saint-loup impressed us.

Vin noté (guide 2021) 91/100 (Millésime 2017)
Rated domain (2022 guide) Selected (We remind you that this guide is a prize list, and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the domain :
A new page is being written for this estate, located high up in the appellation, the only one in the village of Cazevieille. Bought in 2019 by Jean-Pierre Girard (already owner of an estate in Valflaunès), Clos des Reboussiers will remain in the same line as the estate previously named Christophe Peyrus, drawn since the first vintage in 2013. Christophe Peyrus ensures continuity and remains present to ensure that this little jewel (with its unique terroirs of flint to dolomite and pink limestone) continues to develop. Jean Vallon, the brilliant artist behind the project, creates an original label for the red wine every year; Spoutnik, the famous space-like concrete vat, remains firmly in place in the square cellar!
