Pure, fresh red with rich red cherry fruits and a lovely layer of oak. Good structure with plenty of tannin and acidity well masked by the ripe fruit.

2008 to 2015

40% Grenache, 40% Syrah, 20% Mourvèdre (average age of vines: 60 years, yields of 35hl/ha)

Clay with limestone, mostly south/south-west facing

15 days in tank then one year in oak.

"A real sleeper and a brilliant wine from the oldest vines of the estate is the 2006 Rasteau Cuvée Prestige. This wine is clearly dominated by its Grenache with notes of chocolate, kirsch, liquorice as well as pepper and spice. This wine has great fruit, full body and a sumptuous texture. Totally irresistible." 92/100 (Parker)
