One of the wines that gave Olivier Poussier chills: L’Atout du Pique !
Wine taster for La Revue du Vin de France, he reveals one of his favourite wines, L'Atout du Pique.
"The beautiful expression of the white grenache from the Roaix terroir, from the Domaine Pique-Basse. An exceptional pure white grenache, hyper refined, without denying the generosity of a wine from the south, but on the other hand hyper well mastered with large bitter minerals, finesse. Really a very nice wine."
L’Ambigu 2022 rosé, a pleasure approved by Elizabeth Gabay !
Domaine Pique-Basse, AOC Côtes du Rhône Villages Roaix Rosé, L’Ambigu 2022 from Roaix village is a blend of Cinsault, Grenache, Mourvèdre, and illustrates the structure achieved with Mourvèdre. Vibrantly fresh red berry fruit aromas followed by deliciously ripe strawberries and raspberries make this unashamedly a rosé, perfect for summer drinking with long acidity reflecting its more northerly location.

Score – 91/100 – L’Atout du Pique Blanc 2021 – Matt Walls/Decanter
Matt Walls' Decanter selection of the Best Côtes du Rhône Villages of December 2023
"A rare 100% pure Grenache Blanc that combines freshly cut white pear and white
flowers on the nose. A mild citrus note on the palate provides lift, then a white bread
yeastiness on the finish. A very Mediterranean white with its broadness on the
palate and low acidity. Not a wine with a strong aromatic profile or assertive
character, but has a highly enjoyable individual style. 45-year-old vines, matured on
the lees without stirring. Biodynamic."
