Notes: Robert Parker 89/100, Bettane & Desseauve 14.5/20
Luc Baudet produces this prestigious cuvée from old vines on the southern slopes of the Costières, which aims to be the most accomplished expression of the appellation's terroir. Compostelle Rouge 2007 stands out for its intense aromas of black cherry, fig, and clove, its body and smoothness, supported by a beautiful tannic structure. A high-quality and enjoyable aromatic palette!

with intense notes of black cherry, fig, blond tobacco, clove, and cedar. Ripe fruit (black cherry) dominates the notes of spice and toasted bread on the palate.
Mouth
Round attack, then the aromas develop, with black fruits, fresh leather, and sweet spices (cinnamon, nutmeg) dominating. The finish is softly textured with silky tannins and a lovely freshness.

About the estate:
Luc Baudet had the audacity to settle in this region, which is still heavily influenced by the cooperative. Attached to the Costières de Nîmes, he set up shop at Mas Neuf. The richness of the terroirs allows him to offer three types of cuvée: Rhône Paradox, with its freshness and purity of fruit; Compostelle, the result of sorting old vines and grapes from the best plots. And finally Armonio, born from an encounter with Louis Mitjavile (Tertre Roteboeuf, in Saint-Emilion, notably)."
