From old vine Grenache and Syrah on sandy limestone soils just north of Gigondas, Sablet offers finesse with depth. Organically farmed and aged in large French oak foudres, this is elegant Rhône with silky tannins, red fruit, floral lift and peppery spice. Serious terroir character with refinement and ageing potential at a compelling price.
What the critics say: 91 Jeb Dunnuck
An elegant Villages-level Rhône from old-vine Grenache & Syrah, offering greater depth, finesse and complexity, where precision and terroir begin to truly shine.
About Domaine La Perdrière
Domaine La Perdrière is led by Vasco and Sonia Perdigão, whose philosophy blends northern Rhône precision with southern Rhône warmth. Vasco acquired the estate in 2010 after gaining experience in prestigious vineyards of the northern Côtes du Rhône, bringing a disciplined, site-driven approach to winemaking.
Located at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail, the vineyards benefit from limestone soils, varied exposures and the aromatic influence of the surrounding garrigue. Each parcel is harvested and vinified separately to preserve freshness, balance and terroir expression.
The estate focuses on a tight, progressive range including Côtes du Rhône, Sablet, Rasteau and Vacqueyras, each increasing in depth and structure. Farming practices emphasize soil vitality and restraint, with organic certification in Sablet and traditional vineyard management throughout.
What makes them unique is their commitment to finesse in a region often associated with power. These wines are structured but never heavy, fruit-driven but precise, and authentic expressions of place.
