“Twelve months of aging in large oak casks have added a hint of cinnamon to this inviting, characterful nose of candied plums, stewed fruit, and licorice. Generous on the palate, it reveals a full-bodied, fleshy texture, framed by substantial, chalky tannins. The warm finish, tinged with black pepper and cocoa, leaves a lasting impression of a sunny, richly indulgent Rasteau, perfectly true to the appellation’s style.” (Le Guide Hachette 2026)

About the wine:
The 2023 Rasteau reveals superb aromas of red and black fruits, ground pepper, strawberry, black cherry, toasted garrigue, and peppery, full-bodied notes. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, round, deep, and beautifully concentrated, it embodies the fresh and concentrated style of the vintage. A blend of 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, and 10% Mourvèdre, aged for six months in old casks, it will age well for 10 to 12 years.
