New vintage, 2006 rated: Gault Millau 17/20, RVF 14/20
Le Coin Caché is one of the oldest plots on the estate. Isolated at the foot of the hill and lost in the garrigue, it produces a high-quality Grenache, harvested at the very limit of over-ripeness. Both fat and elegant, fine and powerful, Coin Caché has a style all its own, and a highly original expression of strawberry soup, cherries in brandy and prunes. A confidential production of just 5000 bottles. A great Provence wine!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
In the heart of a magnificent landscape on the southern slopes of the Alpilles, this 300-hectare family estate, including 52 hectares of vines and 28 hectares of olive groves, boasts draining soils perfect for viticulture. Now run by two sisters, Caroline Missoffe and Anne Poniatowski, the former of whom is the current and very dynamic president of the appellation, the estate's wines are one of the finest expressions of Baux-de-Provence. Gourmet, they combine body and lightness with great elegance.
