value for the money

"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 offers notes of jammy black fruits and balsamic aromas (camphor, clove). On the palate, the Grenache’s sun-kissed character comes to the fore: a smooth, rich texture, velvety tannins, a pleasant roundness, and a long, licorice-tinged finish. A full-bodied red that is already voluptuous.” (Le Guide Hachette 2023)

About the 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 offers notes of jammy black fruits and balsamic aromas (camphor, clove). On the palate, the Grenache’s sun-kissed character comes to the fore: a smooth, rich texture, velvety tannins, a pleasant roundness, and a long, licorice-tinged finish. A well-rounded and already voluptuous red.

About the estate:

Formerly owned by the Flemish singer-songwriter Robert Herberigs, this 28-hectare estate in the 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. It is often in the spotlight for its Côtes-du-Rhône and Villages wines.
