"A classic blend of Grenache and Syrah, this red wine takes care of elegance. Spices, thyme, fresh red fruits, the nose bears witness. Notes of tobacco and undergrowth stretch out this palette in a round, long palate of tempered power. Already pleasant.(Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2020)

Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Wine rated (2020 guide) 1*Star (Very successful wine)
Domaine noté (guide 2020) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the wine:
A red wine, a classic blend of Grenache and Syrah, with a focus on elegance. Spices, thyme, fresh red fruits, the nose bears witness. Notes of tobacco and undergrowth stretch this palette on a round, long palate of tempered power. Already pleasant.
About the domain :
The interior chapel and pergola of this Tuscan-style bastide are reminders that the estate belonged to an Italian prelate in the 16th century. In 2009, international oenology consultant Jean-Pierre Valade and Éric Petitjean took over the estate and its 33 hectares of organically-farmed vines (Beaumes-de-venise, Ventoux and Gigondas).
