Valréas De Natura Rerum
2020 : 90 Decanter
The vineyard extends over the town of Valréas in the north of Vaucluse. The climate is Mediterranean, moderated by cool winds. Mainly located on clayey and stony soils, the vineyard covers an area of ??about 480 ha, and produces around 13,000 hl per year.
Our Valréas comes from vines cultivated in accordance with the principles of organic farming, and is mainly composed of Grenache and Syrah.
The wine has been aged in vats only, in order to preserve all the freshness of its aromas.
The color is a beautiful ruby ??red. The elegant and subtle nose offers aromas of red fruits (raspberry, redcurrant) and garrigue. The palate is supple, well balanced and fresh.
Very pleasant to drink, this Côtes-du-Rhône Villages will surprise you with its finesse.

Vintage 2020
90 Decanter
Still has a purple tinge to the colour. Fresh and vibrant notes of dark plums, a touch of damson. Well balanced acidity, really quite direct and bright. Has an aerial touch to the fruit. Lavender and redcurrant come with air. No great depth, this isn't a wine to age, but is really delightful young drinking, so refreshing and detailed. No excess weight or alcohol, but sufficient tannic structure.

Perfect with a barbecue (pork ribs, grilled chicken), a leg or a shoulder of lamb, it will also accompany roast poultry or farm cow cheeses.
