Produced in a limited run of just 3,000 bottles, the Compostelle Blanc is made from grapes grown on plots where the fruit ripens slowly but to perfection, on highly porous Villefranchian gravel soils. Its production also involves several months in Sauternes barrels, particularly those from Château d'Yquem. It opens with aromas of sweet spices (Bourbon vanilla) and displays roundness, freshness, and a beautiful aromatic complexity blending citrus and white flowers. An elegant and charming white that is ready to enjoy right now!

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. 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).”
