"A signature vintage!"
A blend of Syrah and Mourvèdre grapes, Michel Rolland adds his own personal touch with 12 months in barrel. The result is a wine with elegant tannins and a long, persistent finish that retains the freshness and typicity of its Mediterranean terroir. Ideal with duck, roast pigeon or chocolate fondant with morello cherry coulis.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
Owned by the Bolloré group, this 108-hectare cru classé has returned to the limelight thanks to judicious investment. La Bastide Blanche, from the same owner but much smaller, produces wines from 13 hectares of vines. The wines are beautifully consistent in all colors, demonstrating the consistency of quality in winemaking. However, they still lack the complexity and personality befitting their cru status.
