"Rare, limited quantity!"
One of the region's finest white wines. Stéphane Robert's Saint Péray Pur Blanc proves that altitude is not a necessity: the century-old Marsanne vines are located in the village of Saint Péray, at the foot of the appellation. Delicate aromas of crushed stone and rainwater on the nose, then floral and fresh on the palate, with lively flavors of pear and melon. A lovely roundness, a long, lively and refreshing finish, with an almost weightless character.

Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2022) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Since setting up in business in 1994, Stéphane Robert, who comes from outside the wine world, has established himself as a benchmark in the northern crus landscape. He has created his own vineyard from scratch, now covering 11 hectares, with vines in Cornas, Saint Joseph, Saint Péray and Condrieu. The vineyards run alongside an old railroad line and a 160 m tunnel, still visible today, which gives the estate its name and in which a new winery and ageing cellar were built in 2013.

Rated (guide 2022) 92/100 (Vintage 2019)
Domaine rated (guide 2022) 2*Stars (These great estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, because of their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning connoisseurs).
About the domain :
Stéphane Robert runs his domaine with brio, crafting modern, precise wines that are setting new standards in the Saint-Péray and Cornas appellations. These cuvées revive the sometimes rustic, sun-drenched style of these two small appellations. Stéphane brings to his opaque Syrahs a touch of refinement gained from precise grape ripening, extraction and ageing. The wines also age very well.
