About the wine:
I am immediately struck by aromas of orange blossom, violet, juniper, and cassia. On the palate, the flavors are concentrated, blending into a succulent medley of mandarin peel, redcurrant, blackberry, and forest floor notes. Superb.

About the estate:
Since the 1970s, this certified organic estate has been one of the appellation’s jewels, appearing in the Guide with unwavering consistency. Boasting a magnificent terroir of 70 small schist plots (58 hectares) that sculpt the landscape, it now benefits from the expertise of the younger generation, inherited from grandfather Jean and father Bernard Vidal, both former presidents of the appellation.
