(Notes from the 2012 vintage)

The result of a collaboration between various members of the estate, the Rhône Paradox cuvée is all about conviviality. This indulgent wine stands out for its freshness despite the maturity of its fruit aromas. A true gourmet wine, it is the perfect accompaniment to a wide variety of summer barbecues.

About the estate:

Luc Baudet had the audacity to settle in this region, which is still heavily influenced by the cooperative. Attached to the Costières de Nîmes, he set up shop at Mas Neuf. The richness of the terroirs allows him to offer three types of cuvée: Rhône Paradox, with its freshness and purity of fruit; Compostelle, the result of sorting old vines and grapes from the best plots. And finally Armonio, born from an encounter with Louis Mitjavile (Tertre Roteboeuf, in Saint-Emilion, notably)."
