Gilbert & Gaillard
"Deep purple hue. Spicy, smoky, licorice nose with stone fruit and condiments. Supple on the palate, ending its typically Mediterranean aromatic journey with ample, dense mineral power. Beautiful volume wraps a chiseled tension." (Le Guide du Vin 2017 - Gilbert & Gaillard)

Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated domain (2018 guide) Awarded wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Of the building constructed in the 12th century by Cistercian monks, all that remains is the superb tower set into the rock. Jean and Bernard Dauré bought the estate in 1974. The mid-19th-century silkworm nursery now houses the Espace d'Art Contemporain, which adjoins one of France's first winegrowers' restaurants, open in summer. The vineyard covers 90 ha.
