Rasteau
One of the new Crus that gained appellation status in 2010, Rasteau offers some compelling value and is one of the lesser-known Southern Rhône regions that will become fashionable in the next few years, in no small part to the 'bang for buck' that you get with these wines. We have two of the best estates here, each with its own style and story.
About 20km northeast of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the region sprawls across the hot Plan de Dieu at 100-110 metres rising all the way up to 350m 'Montagne' regions in the hills where the cool evenings lend freshness and more elegance to the weighty ripeness from the Le Plan.
