On the path to perfection...
Robert Parker 90/100, Decanter 4****Being in tune with the terroir, the elements, and one’s own convictions when making wine—that could be one way of looking at the pursuit of perfection. Luc Baudet produces this prestige cuvée from old vines on the southern slope of the Costières, which is intended to be the most accomplished expression possible of the appellation’s terroir.

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).”
