This 2007 Tradition red is undoubtedly the estate’s finest wine. Generous and sumptuous are the words that best describe this cuvée— —which, it should be noted, was aged in barrels previously used for Grand Cru Classé wines (Smith Haut Lafitte, Lafite Rothschild, Pape Clément). The nose evokes red currants and wild strawberries; on the palate, it charms with its balance of both density and freshness, lending it great elegance, punctuated by a taut finish marked by beautifully crafted tannins. A true classic from a truly great vintage!

About the estate:
“Luc Baudet had the audacity to settle in this region, which is still strongly 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, which emphasizes 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 (of Tertre Roteboeuf in Saint-Émilion, among others).”
