"A true Favorite for this Pic-Saint-Loup, a powerful, racy wine of the highest class".
Guilhem Gaucelm is a clean, expressive wine, with red fruit, roasting, tobacco, cocoa and cloves. The attack on the palate is frank and the tannins elegant and silky. The finish is floral, long and fresh. A superb vintage!

Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2026) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
Three Ravaille brothers, Jean-Marc, Pierre and Xavier, as comfortable in Pic Saint-Loup as the three fish on the labels would be in the water. They had to change the estate's historic name, l'Ermitage du Pic saint-loup, so as not to compete with the well-known Rhone appellation. For the reds, sainte-agnès blends the four main Languedoc grape varieties, while the whites are half Roussanne. The move towards biodynamic viticulture has been underway for several years. Sainte-agnès is regularly positioned as the archetype of Pic Saint-Loup reds.

Wine rated (2026 guide) 95/100
Domaine rated (guide 2026) 2*Stars (These great estates, often endowed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the wine:
The face-off between the 2022 vintage of the very distinguished cuvée Guilhem Gaucelm, compact and racy, and the 2012 vintage, testifies to the estate's excellent level.
About the domain :
L'Héritage du Pic-Saint-Loup is a historic terroir, located on the lands of the former convent of Château de Montferrand. It was in the 12th century that the first winegrowers tilled and cultivated these pampre fields. Today, this jewel of the appellation, which backs directly onto the Pic, is farmed by the Ravaille family, who were instrumental in introducing Syrah, now the dominant grape variety in the appellation. In 1992, the latest generation, Xavier, Pierre and Jean-Marc, decided to leave the cooperative to vinify these beautiful high-altitude soils. Demanding vineyard standards, precise expression and controlled power are the hallmarks of the estate's current production, a benchmark in the appellation.
