"From the superb limestone terroir of Cazevieille, a great Pic Saint Loup!"
“The Cazevieille limestone soils, at an elevation of 350 meters, truly shine in this 2022 Saint Agnès. It possesses the structure and integrity of its terroir, along with a lovely floral note. A wine with great aging potential” (Le Guide RVF 2025).

Wine rated (2026 guide) 90/100
Rated estate (2026 guide) 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable vintage, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
The three Ravaille brothers—Jean-Marc, Pierre, and Xavier—are as much at home on Pic Saint-Loup as the three fish depicted on the labels are in the water. They had to change the estate’s historic name, L’Ermitage du Pic Saint-Loup, to avoid competing with the well-known Rhône appellation. The red Sainte-Agnès blends the four main Languedoc grape varieties, while the white is half Roussanne. The transition to biodynamics has been underway for several years. Sainte-Agnès consistently stands as the archetype of Pic Saint-Loup reds.

About the estate:
L'Héritage du Pic-Saint-Loup is a historic vineyard located on the grounds of the former convent of Château de Montferrand. It was in the 12th century that the first winegrowers began cultivating these vineyards. This jewel of the appellation, nestled directly against the Pic, is now run by the Ravaille family, to whom we owe, in particular, the introduction of Syrah, which is now the dominant grape variety in the appellation. The latest generation—Xavier, Pierre, and Jean-Marc—decided in 1992 to leave the cooperative to vinify these beautiful high-altitude vineyards. Rigorous standards in the vineyard, precision in expression, and controlled power are the hallmarks of the estate’s current production, making it a benchmark within the appellation.
