4/5 (6 customers)

New vintage, 2011 was rated: Gerbelle & Maurange 15/20
Les Amandiers red wine distills notes of fresh red berries (redcurrant) on the nose, as well as spicy nuances. The palate is seductive and indulgent, resulting in a very pleasant wine. It pairs beautifully with Mediterranean cuisine and grilled vegetables!

Guide Hachette des vins

Rated estate (2026 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly awarded by the guide)

About the estate:

Since the 1970s, this certified organic estate has been one of the jewels in the appellation's crown, appearing in the Guide with unfailing regularity. 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.
