Score – 91/100 – L’Atout du Pique Blanc – 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."
Wine Guide Dussert-Gerber 2024
CDR-Villages Roaix red L’As du Pique 2021, beautiful garnet color, a wine with the persistent scent of morello cherry and ripe blackcurrant, well typified, full-bodied and fragrant on the palate, of beautiful frame, it is generous and combines structure and roundness in the mouth, to be expected on a necklace of lamb with ginger. 90/100
CDR-Villages Roaix white L’Atout du Pique 2020, marked by its white Grenache, very well aged (vinification half in half barrels and half in stainless steel tanks, fermentation for three months and then aging on lees without stirring), this wine is specific with its pear and anise nuances, fresh and suave, round finish, which combines intensity and flexibility, to be expected on zucchini fritters or fried cod with potatoes. 91/100
CDR-Villages Roaix rosé L’Ambigu 2022, from vines of 45 years of age with yield of 40 hl/ ha, which took root on a sandy soil resulting from the erosion of saffron, nose present with notes of violet and prune, a wine rich in color, dense and a beautiful aromatic persistence in the final. 89/100
CDR red La Brusquembille 2022, 70% Syrah, 25% Carignan and 5% Grenache coming from plots rich in sand and clays of alluvial origin located in the place called «Piquebas» surrounding the estate, intense purple color, with powerful and tasty tannins, is spicy and very fragrant (blackberry, wild strawberry, musk...), of ample structure. 88/100
Rasteau red 2020, majority in Grenache, the rest in Mourvèdre, clay-limestone soil, a wine of character, powerful, intense in the nose as in the mouth (blackcurrant, garrigue, liquorice), with coated tannins. 92/100
