Note: RVF between 15.5 and 17.5/20 (2008 Vintage Special Issue)
This 2008 Mas Neuf Tradition white cuvée, which harmoniously blends Grenache Blanc and Roussanne, is one of the superb bargains of the Southern Rhône. It was notably highlighted by the Revue du Vin de France in its 2008 Vintage Special Issue: "This wine has aromas of citrus zest. Lively and straightforward, it releases a beautiful sensation of freshness on the palate with lovely crisp fruit." (RVF No. 532)

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)."
