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

Rated Estate (2018 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the excellence of French winemaking.)
About the estate:
Located north of the Pic Saint-Loup appellation, this estate consists of a large southwestern-facing hillside plot on limestone scree, planted primarily with Grenache and Syrah. This is the Foulaquier terroir proper, which is joined within the estate by the more loamy, northeastern-facing terroir of Les Tonillières. This venture, which began in 1998, is led by the couple Pierre Jequier, a former architect, and Blandine Chauchat, a former parliamentary aide. These passionate winemakers have restructured the estate—which has very ancient origins—guiding it toward certification in organic and then biodynamic farming. After a few minor adjustments, they now present a renewed range of healthy, delicious, and aromatic wines, most of which are aged in a reductive environment.

From the richness of the spices to the freshness of the fruit—it has it all, while respecting nature... and our health.
