"Old Les Vignes vintage
"Frank aromas of fresh white fruit and citrus fruit, saline and invigorating on the palate, lively and slender". (Le Guide Bettane + Desseauve). Gourmet power! Its expressive nose of citrus and empyreumatic notes is echoed on the palate with a clean, aromatic attack. Full-bodied, tangy and fresh, with a saline finish. Enjoy with spring dishes.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 90/100
Domaine rated 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the wine:
Frank aromas of fresh white fruit and citrus, saline and tonic on the palate, lively and slender.
About the domain :
Michel Chapoutier, a prolific figure in the Rhône Valley wine world, has invested heavily in his Latour de France estate (with over 100 hectares of vines, extending into other villages such as Lesquerde, and a few parcels on the Côte Vermeille). As perfectionist as ever, his wines are affordable and offer good value for money.
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Domaine noté Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the domain :
Michel Chapoutier's outpost in the Roussillon is a worthy extension of his operations in the Rhône Valley. The emphasis is on the same varieties - Grenache and Syrah, in varying proportions according to terroir - and the overall quality is very good, with the parcel selections particularly notable for their excellence and limited production volumes. "My opinion is that Roussillon is like the Northern Rhône in Languedoc-Roussillon," said Chapoutier at our February tasting in the small village of Latour-de-France. He and the rest of his team are very optimistic about the prospects for 2017 and 2018, which they describe as excellent vintages. It's worth noting that while Chapoutier mainly produces dry wines in Roussillon, he hasn't abandoned traditional styles.
