Note: Bettane & Desseauve 14/20
"Lively, fresh rosé, beautifully fruity, with notes of crushed strawberry and white flowers, and plenty of freshness on the finish" (Le Grand Guide des Vins de France 2012 - Bettane & Desseauve). Compostelle Rosé is the estate's gastronomic rosé, as stunning and fresh with delicate dishes as it is drunk on its own to savor its bouquet of wild red fruits (wild strawberries, raspberries) and white flowers. On the palate, fresh citrus notes and floral aromas. A lovely rosé for the table!

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 movement. 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).
