“The natural expression of Pic Saint-Loup”
“Complex, fresh, and harmonious, its spicy character is balanced by notes of black fruit (blackberry). Full-bodied, well-balanced, and light on the palate, this wine has a lot of character.” (Bettane + Desseauve En Magnum, October 2024).

About the estate:
In 2000, Jean-Christophe Granier took over the old family estate, renamed it after the hills bordering the house—Les Grandes Costes—and breathed new life into this 19-hectare vineyard located in Corconne and Vacquières, on the edge of Pic Saint-Loup.
Gilbert & Gaillard
Wine rated (2024 guide) Double Gold Medal
About the wine:
A bright red color with purple highlights. A distinct nose of red fruits, blending redcurrant and cherry with hints of Mediterranean scrub in the background. On the palate, this is a structured wine that delivers the same aromatic qualities. The finish is firm, well supported by ample freshness.

It all started in the summer. It was really good—it’s a shame it won’t last.
