Rating: Robert Parker 89/100, Bettane & Desseauve 14.5/20
Luc Baudet produces this prestige cuvée from old vines on the southern slope of the Costières, aiming to capture the terroir of the appellation in its most refined form. The 2007 Compostelle Rouge stands out for its intense aromas of black cherry, fig, and clove, as well as its body and smoothness, supported by a beautiful tannic structure. A high-quality and delightful aromatic profile!

with intense notes of black cherry, fig, blond tobacco, clove, and cedar. Ripe fruit (black cherry) dominates the spicy and toasty notes on the palate
Palate
The attack is round, and the aromas then unfold; in addition to black fruits, fresh leather and sweet spices dominate (cinnamon, nutmeg). The finish is softly textured with silky tannins and a lovely freshness

About the estate:
“Luc Baudet had the audacity to settle in this region, which is still heavily influenced by the cooperative. Deeply attached to the Costières de Nîmes, he made his home at Mas Neuf. The richness of the terroirs allows him to offer three types of wine: Rhône Paradox, highlighting the freshness and purity of the fruit; Compostelle, the result of careful selection from old vines, as well as grapes from the best plots. And finally Armonio, born from a collaboration with Louis Mitjavile (Tertre Roteboeuf, in Saint-Emilion, notably).”
