In a few words ...
The exposure of Valréas provides climatic conditions conducive to the production of straightforward, complex, fresh wines. A great success.
A superb structure in this wine from the famous Maison Lavau. Supple, fresh and full-bodied: a real favorite!

Appellation
Côtes-du-Rhône-Villages Valréas
The appellation Côtes-du-Rhône-Villages Valréas is part of the region of Vallée du Rhône from France which include Maison Lavau and its 1 cuvées. Spread over The Rhone Valley and its rich, complex terroirs. The region is divided into two distinct subregions: Northern Rhone (known as Rhône Septentrional) and Southern Rhone (Rhône Méridional). In the former we find strong wines in beautiful colours with warm, spicy notes, produced by vineyards that stretch 4,700 ha along the Rhone. The latter, with an area of 71,000 ha, is much more important, and this is evident of course in its annual production of red, rosé and white wines quite unlike those of the Northern Rhone., this region is 3 million hectolitres per year of red wines, rosés, dry and sparkling white wines, and natural sweet wine..
