In a few words ...
A fleshy, powerful, long wine; ideal with a lamb chop cooked with Provencal herbs. The grapes are 100% de-stemmed and placed in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats to macerate for around 25 days, with delestage at the start of fermentation, followed by two pump-overs a day. The wine is then placed in barrels for 12 months, with half of the cuvée aged in barrels.
A full-bodied, powerful, long wine; ideal with lamb chops cooked with Provencal herbs.

Appellation
Rasteau
The appellation Rasteau 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..
