"A full, spicy nose with hints of smoked bacon and terracotta. Although well-concentrated, this Rasteau is not overly powerful, with a fresh, elegant palate that finishes with a lovely interplay of fine tannins and mineral freshness." (James Suckling 2022).

About wine:
Salty notes of crushed earth and hints of clay accentuate the decadent flavors of blackberry and raspberry jam in this textured and balanced blend of Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, Mourvèdre, and Cinsault. A consistent high performer among Rasteau wines, it showcases the complexity of this exciting terroir. Now at its peak, the wine should continue to refine until 2026.

Note and opinion by Mr. GILLES D. Published on 10/13/2025
The 2019 Evigneaux stands out for its restrained power, which in no way detracts from its freshness and good concentration of intense flavors of perfectly ripe black fruits infused with spices and empyreumatic notes that develop on the palate, which is full-bodied, ample, and silky alongside solid, mellow tannins, ending with a lively, chalky finish. At its peak, this lovely Rasteau paired beautifully with venison kefta and mint sauce. Rating = 4.

Review and opinion by Mr. MATHIEU W. Published on 08/24/2023
Medium deep cherry red color with purple at the core. Nose: sun-dried, red and dark fruit, blackberries, overripe strawberries, plums, figs, spiciness, and absolutely sun-dried garrigue. The palate precisely repeats what the nose promises. Sultry and sun-dried fruit, herbs, garrigue, and some spices, including licorice and cardamom. Furthermore, excellent body, freshness, soft tannins, and a pleasant bitter finish. Typical southern Côtes du Rhône. Score: 16/20
