In a few words ...

This cuvée pays tribute to the story of Heloise and Abelard and the fruit of their love, their son Astralabe. A blend of Syrah and Grenache, it expresses a vibrant, easy-drinking style. Its rich, complex aromatic bouquet is supported by a full, silky body.

Tasted at a dinner party with connoisseurs, we were able to take the time to fully appreciate its complexity. Indeed, it develops powerful characters without being aggressive, a real moment of exchange around this much-appreciated wine!

This wine is a real discovery! I don't hesitate to order it as soon as it's available on TWIL. What's more, it's excellent value for money.

Excellent wine with unbeatable value for money Everything has been worked out in this domain, not only the wine but also the label.

A Ventoux of finesse, completely at odds with the usually sunny wines of this appellation. Here, fruit and freshness take precedence. Don't hesitate to aerate it before serving.

Year after year, Astralabe confirms its consistently high quality. Very fruity, long and already round, even if it can easily be kept for 10 to 15 years. Top quality!

Astralabe is a real ball of wax, powerful and refined at the same time, a real slap in the face for our taste buds, ideal with raclette.
