value for money

"Affordable gourmet wine"

"Composed of equal parts Clairette and Grenache, with the addition of Viognier and a touch of Marsanne, vinified and aged in 500L barrels for four months, this cuvée charms with its complex and captivating nose of hawthorn, cut grass, and dried apricot, enhanced by a hint of butter. On the palate, it is lively on the attack, then voluminous and silky, with hints of chamomile and toasted bread, stimulated by a beautiful tension that gives it length."

About wine:

Composed of equal parts Clairette and Grenache, with the addition of Viognier and a touch of Marsanne, vinified and aged in 500-liter barrels for four months, this cuvée charms with its complex and captivating nose of hawthorn, cut grass, and dried apricot, enhanced by a hint of butter. On the palate, it is lively on the attack, then voluminous and silky, with hints of chamomile and toasted bread, stimulated by a beautiful tension that gives it length.

About the estate:

Saint-Victor-la-Coste lies beneath the ruins of Castellas, the medieval castle of the Lords of Sabran. Since 1976, Luc Pélaquié has been running this vast (98 hectares) and ancient (17th century) family estate, whose wines (Côtes-du-Rhône, Villages, Lirac, and Tavel) are regularly featured in the Guide.
