Hachette

"A red wine, a classic blend of Grenache and Syrah, which exudes elegance. Spices, thyme, and fresh red fruits are evident on the nose. Notes of tobacco and undergrowth extend this palette on the palate, which is round, long, and moderately powerful. Already enjoyable. "(Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2020)

About wine:

A red wine, a classic blend of Grenache and Syrah, which exudes elegance. Spices, thyme, and fresh red fruits are evident on the nose. Notes of tobacco and undergrowth extend this palette into a round, long palate with moderate power. Already enjoyable.

About the estate:

The interior chapel and pergola of this Tuscan-style country house are reminders that in the 16th century, the estate belonged to an Italian prelate. In 2009, Jean-Pierre Valade, an international wine consultant, and Éric Petitjean took over the estate and its 33 hectares of organically farmed vineyards (Beaumes-de-Venise, Ventoux, and Gigondas).
