Robert Parker
The result of a meeting between the various members of the domaine, the Rhône Paradox cuvée is an invitation to conviviality. This gourmet wine stands out for its freshness, despite the ripeness of its fruit aromas. A gourmet wine, it's the perfect accompaniment to a wide variety of summer grills.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 14/20 (vintage 2012) (Good wine)
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).
