Connectez vous pour bénéficier de votre programme Rhonea & Moi et connaîtres vos avantages.
Les Pierres du Vallat evokes the stony soils and small valleys that shape the great terroirs of Gigondas. Sourced from Grand Montmirail, this cuvée blends Grenache and Syrah and is carefully aged for 12 months in demi-muids and large oak casks. Black fruit, licorice, garrigue and a smoky touch define a full-bodied, structured and intense wine.

Tasting
A rich and complex aromatic profile. The palate is full and refined, with a long, elegant finish lifted by the freshness brought by the limestone soils.
Serving
14-16°C
Food pairings
Here are three occasions to enjoy this wine — and plenty more for you to create: a generous dinner around the table with braised beef, creamy mashed potatoes or a slow-cooked casserole; a relaxed meal with friends featuring spiced roasted squash, a root vegetable gratin or porcini risotto; or a quiet late-evening tasting with aged Cheddar, toasted nuts or a square of dark chocolate.

Guide Bettane et Desseauve des vins de France

"A harmonious and fresh bouquet of dark cherries, peonies and flowers, (...) round and sappy wine that’s layered and seamless, with a juicy core of fruit and a long, perfumed finish. This is a great effort."
Wine Advocate
The vintage
2023 was a year full of contrasts: warm temperatures at the end of December and beginning of January raised concerns about early budding; a return to normalcy continued until February with relatively cool weather; a persistent drought accompanied by a strong Mistral wind, followed by regular rainfall until the end of June. Thanks to constant vigilance in the vineyards, the berries were healthy and well-ripened when harvest started, promising one of the finest vintages of the past decade.
Terroir
Parcels located in the Grand Montmirail area of the Dentelles de Montmirail, at an altitude of 400 metres.
Winemaking
Regular pump-overs are carried out at the beginning of fermentation to gently extract colour, aromas and fruit. The wine then undergoes a long, four-week maceration at controlled temperatures of 27–30°C. The entire blend is aged for 12 months in large oak foudres and 400-litre demi-muids.
Grape variety
- Grenache noir – 60%
