89-91+/100 - PARKER
"I loved the 2015 Rasteau, and this blend of 75% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre offers a stunning nose of ripe black cherries, dried herbs, spice and pepper. Rich, medium to full-bodied and layered, it has impeccable purity and a balanced, lengthy personality that will evolve. "

Selection of 17 parcels spread over the Rasteau appellation on 3 different terroirs: 

• 40% at an altitude of 300 metres on marl and conglomerate
• 20% on stony clay-limestone hillside, sand and pebbles
• 40% on old terraces with gravels
