Note : Gault Millau 16/20
"This complex wine opens with aromas of ripe red fruit (raspberry, cherry, blackberry), supported by empyreumatic and spicy notes. Full-bodied and dense on the palate, with expressive yet elegant tannins. A long finish for an attractive wine for laying down". (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2012 - Gault Millau). Mourvèdre and Grenache (hence the name?) express themselves equally in this cuvée: the former brings its typical cocoa aromas and structure, the latter its red fruit notes and fullness. The whole is straightforward, rich, complex and uncompromising. A remarkable wine, a true exercise in style!

Eye
beautiful garnet robe
Nose
blends the red fruit (ripe raspberry) of Grenache with the cocoa notes typical of old Mourvèdre vines.
Mouth
A typical attack of the fullness of old Grenache, the structure of Mourvèdre tightens the finish with long, tight tannins. Ripe fruit gives way to spicy (nutmeg, clove) and roasted notes.

About the domain :
"Luc Baudet had the audacity to settle in this region still strongly marked by the cooperative movement. Attached to the Costières de Nîmes region, he settled at Mas Neuf. The richness of the terroirs enables him to offer three types of cuvée: Rhône Paradox, based on freshness and purity of fruit; Compostelle, the result of selection from old vines and grapes from the best plots. And finally, Armonio, born of a meeting with Louis Mitjavile (Tertre Roteboeuf, in Saint-Emilion, among others).
