Notes: Guide Hachette Coup de Coeur - 3* (Exceptional Wine), RVF 14/20
“The deep red color shows some signs of aging. Complex and distinguished, the nose reveals jammy red fruit and thyme, with hints of resin and mint dusted with a touch of vanilla from the balanced oak aging (six months in barrel)...” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2012)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated (2016 guide): 2 stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous vintage)
About the estate:
Patrick Reverdy and his son Laurent are deeply attached to their Carignan vines, which have become a specialty of the Corbières-Boutenac terroir. We are right in the heart of the designated appellation for this wine. The entry-level cuvée is a benchmark in Corbières. The Roman-Pauc cuvée, named in honor of a family ancestor, blends Carignan and Grenache vines well over forty years old with younger Syrah and Mourvèdre vines.

About the estate:
Driven by a desire to showcase the unique character of the Boutenac terroir, five generations have built the reputation of this leading estate in the Corbières region. Patrick Reverdy and his son Laurent have dedicated themselves to highlighting their old Carignan vines, the backbone of their production. Vinified using carbonic maceration, Carignan makes up half of the blend for the iconic Romain Pauc cuvée. While many producers in the Corbières region are advancing rapidly, La Voulte-Gasparets has kept pace and, in recent vintages, has produced consistently high-quality wines that, moreover, often age beautifully.
