Rhône Paradox blanc is a harmonious blend of Grenache Blanc and Roussanne. Once again this year, this wine expresses freshness and gourmet aromas. It reveals unrestrained aromas of fresh fruit (yellow peach, pear) combined with notes of white flowers. A good fullness supported by a fresh, invigorating finish underline the whole. Superb!

Expert opinion
Guide des Vins Gault & Millau
Estate rated (2012 guide) 3*Stars (Very good production)
About the domain :
"Luc Baudet had the audacity to settle in this region still strongly marked by the cooperative. Attached to the Costières de Nîmes region, he settled at Mas Neuf. The richness of the terroirs enables him to offer three types of cuvée: Rhône Paradox, based on freshness and purity of fruit; Compostelle, the result of selection from old vines and grapes from the best plots. And finally, Armonio, born of a meeting with Louis Mitjavile (Tertre Roteboeuf, in Saint-Emilion, among others).
