This promising young domaine offers us a very fine, fresh and fruity Rasteau, with lovely red fruit notes on the palate. It has a fine structure, in which the tannins express themselves with finesse. Already a hit with customers 1jour1vin, suggest it with stewed meat!

About the domain :
Trained by the brilliant Alain Paret (his Saint-Joseph 420 nuits is grandiose), Vasco Urruty Perdigao is at the helm of this estate boasting superb terroirs in Sablet, Rasteau and Vacqueyras. Together with his wife Sonia, they form an innovative and passionate winemaking duo. They have been working towards organic farming for several years now, and have made numerous advances in terms of winemaking. An estate on the rise! Bravo
