The most indulgent and easy-drinking wine in the entire range, L'Orphée opens with notes of black fruit, garrigue, and spices on the nose. A fairly lively red on the palate, but one that softens with age... A Pic Saint-Loup that will shine with spicy or Mediterranean cuisine.

About the estate:
Located north of the Pic Saint-Loup appellation, this estate consists of a large south-west facing hillside plot on limestone scree, planted mainly with Grenache and Syrah. This is the Foulaquier terroir itself, which is joined by the more loamy Tonillières terroir, facing north-east. This adventure, which began in 1998, is led by Pierre Jequier, a former architect, and Blandine Chauchat, a former parliamentary official. These passionate winemakers have restructured the estate, which has very ancient origins, by steering it towards organic and then biodynamic certification. After a few minor adjustments, they now offer a renewed range of healthy, delicious and fragrant wines, most of which are aged in a reductive environment.

The fruit of the density of spices and freshness has everything, while respecting nature... and our health.
