"A sure bet!"

This blend of half Grenache and half Syrah, with its dense, deep color, reveals the intrinsic qualities of each grape variety. The intense and complex nose exudes notes of jammy black fruits and balsamic scents (camphor, clove). On the palate, the sunnier character of Grenache comes to the fore: a smooth and rich texture, velvety tannins, a pleasant roundness and a long, licorice-flavored finish. A complete and already voluptuous red." (Le Guide Hachette 2023)

About wine:

This blend of half Grenache and half Syrah, with its dense, deep color, reveals the intrinsic qualities of each grape variety. The intense and complex nose exudes notes of jammy black fruits and balsamic scents (camphor, clove). On the palate, the more sunny character of Grenache comes to the fore: a smooth and rich texture, velvety tannins, a pleasant roundness, and a long finish with hints of licorice. A complete and already voluptuous red.

About the estate:

Formerly owned by Flemish songwriter Robert Herberigs, this 28-hectare estate in Ardèche (certified organic) has been run since 1998 by Roland Terrasse, his grandson. It owes its name to the "dove-white" stone used to build the Directoire-style château. Often in the spotlight for its Côtes-du-Rhône and Villages wines.
