From a single elevated vineyard parcel at 300 metres overlooking the spectacular Dentelles de Montmirail, this Cru Rasteau captures the power and finesse of one of the Southern Rhône's finest appellations. A blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah, it offers layers of blackberry, plum and cherry, accented by wild herbs, pepper and subtle spice. Silky tannins, vibrant minerality and remarkable balance lead to a long, refined finish with excellent ageing potential.

Did You Know?
Rasteau is one of only a handful of villages granted "Cru" status in the Southern Rhône, recognizing its exceptional terroir and ability to produce wines of greater depth, complexity and ageing potential than standard Côtes du Rhône.
About Domaine La Perdrière
Nestled at the foot of the dramatic Dentelles de Montmirail, Domaine La Perdrière is led by Vasco and Sonia Perdigão, whose philosophy combines the precision of the Northern Rhône with the warmth and generosity of the Southern Rhône. After gaining experience in some of the Northern Rhône's most respected vineyards, Vasco acquired the estate in 2010 with a clear vision: to craft elegant, terroir-driven wines that express each vineyard site.
The estate's vineyards span the appellations of Sablet, Rasteau, Vacqueyras and Côtes du Rhône, where limestone soils, varied elevations and the surrounding garrigue create wines of freshness, balance and character. Each parcel is harvested and vinified separately to preserve its unique identity.
What Makes Them Unique
Domaine La Perdrière combines Northern Rhône precision with Southern Rhône generosity, crafting elegant, organically farmed wines that express the character of each vineyard with freshness, balance, and finesse.
