Natural wine royalty from the Southern Rhône. Marcel Richaud is considered the father of natural wines in the Rhône Valley, pioneering organic farming in Cairanne since the 1990s. This blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre, and more from "galets" (pudding stone) soils offers spiced red fruits, black olive, and violet notes. Organic, minimal sulfur, maximum pleasure.

Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

RP 89
"Crafted from vines planted on the “plaine des Garrigues” at the foot of the Ventoux, the 2023 Cotes du Rhone Terre de Galets is lively and gourmand, evoking aromas of violet, rose, dark cherries and pepper. Medium-bodied, round and ample, with a delicately juicy core of fruit, it's supported by elegant tannins from the Carignan grape and culminates in a long, spicy and ethereal finish. This is a blend of 30% Carignan, 20% Grenache Noir, 20% Syrah, 20% Counoise and 10% Mourvèdre." -Yohan Castaing
