“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).

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.
