Rating: Gault Millau 15/20
"A wine with a distinct southern flavor; on the nose, a beautiful expressive palette of red fruits and floral nuances. The whole is enchanting, with plenty of volume and a delicious, fruity finish." (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2012 - Gault Millau). Rhône Paradox rosé offers exceptional fruitiness, a quality that has become its signature over the years. Produced in the south of the Costières region, it is expressive, evoking a basket of fresh fruit (apricot, cherry, pear) mingled with notes of white flowers. The palate is rich and lively, literally exploding with small red fruits such as wild strawberries and raspberries. A consistently balanced and fresh wine for immediate enjoyment!

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)."
