Domaine Pique-Basse
Domaine Pique-Basse works the Southern Rhône, where the Mistral wind and sun-baked slopes shape wines of intensity and structure. The domaine's whites draw on Grenache Blanc, a variety that thrives in this heat, yielding minerality and weight. L'Atout du Pique Côtes-du-Rhône-Villages 'Roaix' Blanc exemplifies this approach—a wine that carries the region's brightness without sacrificing body. The reds lean on Syrah and the traditional Southern Rhône blend of Mourvedre and Grenache. An Coeur du Ventabren Côtes-du-Rhône-Villages 'Roaix' and the Rasteau both reflect the garrigue-scented, warm-climate character of their terroir. These wines have been assessed by Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, and Decanter.
