Château Mas Neuf - Avec des Si... 2007
Rating: Gault Millau 16/20, Bettane & Desseauve 15/20
"A truly remarkable wine that combines finesse, minerality, power, and character. The nose is jammy, marked by fruit preserved in brandy, violets, and hints of mint, revealing a certain crispness. A beautiful and delightful blend." (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2012 - Gault Millau).

About the estate:
“Luc Baudet had the audacity to settle in this region, which is still heavily influenced by the cooperative. Deeply attached to the Costières de Nîmes, he made his home at Mas Neuf. The richness of the terroirs allows him to offer three types of wine: Rhône Paradox, highlighting the freshness and purity of the fruit; Compostelle, the result of careful selection from old vines, as well as grapes from the best plots. And finally Armonio, born from a collaboration with Louis Mitjavile (Tertre Roteboeuf, in Saint-Emilion, notably).”
