"A masterpiece!"
Cuvée from a small parcel of Roussane in the Saint-Joseph PDO, overlooking the winery. The last vines are just a few centimetres from the cliff that plunges down onto the estate, and could serve as the take-off point for "an angel's leap". The evocative nose of stone fruits invites the taster to discover a wine with beautiful bitters on the palate and a remarkable touch.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 96/100 (Vintage 2020)
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the domain :
What a meteoric rise for this new winegrower, who has only been in business since 2009. The constant care he devotes to his various plots and the precise work in the cellar enable him to produce Saint Joseph, Condrieu and Côte-Rôtie wines that are on the podium of their respective appellations. In 2020, the côte-rôtie fongeant will approach perfection. The challenge for enthusiasts will be to get their hands on a few bottles.

Rated 16/20 (Vintage 2020) (Very good wine)
Domaine rated (guide 2024) 2*Stars (These great estates, often endowed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the domain :
Created in 2008, this estate has gone from strength to strength. It has gradually expanded without losing its philosophy: to produce wines with identity. In the reds, the proportion of whole grapes varies according to the cuvée. High-quality ageing enhances and refines the wines, without over-pommading them. White wines retain their finesse. The quality and homogeneity of the entire production are remarkable.
