Ratings: Bettane & Desseauve 15/20, RVF 14.5/20, Gault Millau 14/20
“Viognier and Roussanne blend in this cuvée to create a robust wine, marked by notes of fresh apricot, infused verbena, and hints of wheat beer. The dry, full-bodied palate marries with crisp acidity for perfect harmony.” (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2012 - Gault Millau)

Rated estate Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About the estate:
François Collard is a regular in the Guide, with his wines often ranking highly. Established in 1994, he began bottling wines from the family vineyards (65 hectares certified organic since 2014) under two labels: Mourgues du Grès, which belonged to the Ursuline convent of Beaucaire until the Revolution, and La Tour de Béraud, named after a 14th-century watchtower Never short on ideas, the Collard couple invites visitors to explore every facet of the estate via a marked trail equipped with Bluetooth markers.
