This Cuvee has been handcrafted at Domaine de la Berthete. Hand harvesting preserves the best qualities of the fruit, and the barrel aging creates a beautiful tannic structure that is more akin to Gigondas. Aromas of black cherry and cassis accompany dark spices and black olive on the nose. A long, mouthwatering finish suggest pairing with indulgent lamb and feta burgers. Tex-Mex, BBQ ribs, and creamy cheeses pair fantastically!

Pascal Maillet and his wife Marie-Pierre purchased the estate, which dates back to 1950, in 1993. Soon after college, where Pascal studied Computer Science, he decided to change his life drastically almost overnight to venture into wine production. He has since increased his vineyards tremendously and invested in new technology to become one of the top handcrafted producers in Côtes-du-Rhône. The estate produces wine in the appellations of Vin de Pays, Côtes-du-Rhône, Côtes-du-Rhône Villages, and Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The vineyards are comprised of traditional Southern Rhône varietals averaging 35 years of age: Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, Cinsault, Grenache Blanc, and Bourboulenc. Pascal farms sustainably and harvests all his vines by hand. Since the estate mostly contains older vines growing on a calcareous clay soil, it produces wines that are highly fruity and aromatic, with a strong tannic backbone.
