This cuvée shows much promise. The blend includes just under 80% Grenache which is sourced from 13 plots across the appellation, but centred around the prized La Crau commune. This vintage is rich in bright red and black fruit, with plenty of signature sweet spice, building to a savoury olive and black pepper finish. The oak use is minimal which allows full focus on the top-quality fruit. This generous wine is both full of fruit and serious, with a long future ahead of it. Drink 2021-2040.

This famous vineyard is currently shared by five vignerons. Rostaing uses only whole-bunch on the fruit from their plot. Inky black in appearance, the nose reveals youthful bramble fruit with heady violets creeping through. The palate is textured and muscular, the dark blackberry fruit combined with a hint of pepper and iron. The finish is very long and the tannins fine, adding to the wine’s finesse. Drink 2022-2042.

This well-made white has an expressive nose of green apple, white peach and sage. The palate is textured and rounded, with plenty more fruit and herb notes. The most important element here is the wonderful fresh acidity, boosted by the Clairette which makes up a third of the blend (along with a third each Grenache Blanc and Viognier). The finish is surprisingly long with a cool mineral note. Drink now to 2021.
