The most indulgent and easy-drinking wine in the entire range, 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 age… A Pic Saint-Loup that pairs beautifully 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 pinnacle 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 on the estate by the more loamy, northeastern-facing Tonillières terroir. This venture, launched 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, steering 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.

It has it all—rich fruitiness, intense spices, and refreshing freshness—all while respecting nature... and our health.
