Rating: Robert Parker 90/100, Guide Hachette 2** (remarkable wine), Bettane & Desseauve 14.5/20
Mourvèdre and Grenache (hence the name?) express themselves equally in this cuvée: the former brings its typical cocoa aromas and structure, the latter its notes of red fruit and fullness. The result is straightforward, rich, complex, and uncompromising. A remarkable 2007, a true exercise in style!

Nose
blends the red fruit (ripe raspberry) of Grenache with the cocoa notes typical of old-vine Mourvèdre
Palate
Typical of the full-bodied character of old Grenache vines, the Mourvèdre’s structure gives the finish a firm, lingering quality with tight, long-lasting tannins. The ripe fruit gives way to spicy notes (nutmeg, clove) and roasted aromas.

Guide des Vins Gault & Millau
Rated estate (2012 guide): 3 stars (Very high quality production)
About the estate:
“Luc Baudet had the audacity to settle in this region, which is still heavily influenced by the cooperative. With a deep attachment to the Costières de Nîmes, he made his home at Mas Neuf. The richness of the terroirs allows him to offer three types of cuvée: Rhône Paradox, focused on 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).”
