"Pleasant nose combining floral, fruity and spicy tones, fruity and spicy tones. On the palate, plenty of body and substance from the outset, and a remarkably pure aromatic personality. a remarkably pure aromatic personality. Finish of spices, zan zan, stone fruit". (Gilbert & Gaillard 2021 Elegant and complex on the palate, this wine is full-bodied, with a powerful structure refined by controlled ageing. On old Syrah enhanced by Grenache and Carignan!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
3*Star rating (High-quality production, a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
A true pioneer of the appellation's qualitative revival, this estate boasts a variety of terroirs which it uses to create blends that balance finesse and structure. The wines are of the highest quality, and are constantly improving. In summer, François and Anne Collard offer walking and mountain-biking tours around the estate to discover their terroir and the flora and fauna of the region. Well worth the detour! An excellent estate with a few exceptional plots of old vines, producing regular, discreet wines that win us over every year.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté Award-winning wines (Wines from this producer regularly win awards in the guide)
About the domain :
François Collard is a regular in the Guide, with wines that often rank highly. Established in 1994, he produced the first bottlings from the family vineyards (65 ha certified organic since 2014) under two labels: Mourgues du Grès, owned by the Ursulines de Beaucaire convent until the Revolution, and La Tour de Béraud, named after a 14th-century fire tower overlooking the vast Beaucaire plain. Never short of ideas, the Collard couple propose to discover all the facets of the estate via an unmarked trail equipped with Bluetooth terminals.
