In a few words ...
When Gérard Eyraud deems that a juice is not quite perfect, it is not included in his grand cuvées, and becomes a "simple" Vin de Pays. This is cause for rejoicing, as the standards set at the Rapatel estate are such that the first cuvée is already magnificent! Gourmet and charming, this Vin de Pays du Gard takes on the strict meaning of its appellation. Its warmth, cicadas and ripe grapes are clearly reminiscent of the land in which it grew up. A great seducer. The nose is divided between spring freshness and ripe, spicy, honeyed fruit. The first palate is fleshy and straightforward, giving way to fine balance and gentle acidity, ending on a few savory notes of apricot and quince. Delightful!

Appellation
Vin de France (Rhône)
The appellation Vin de France (Rhône) is part of the region of Vallée du Rhône from France which include Domaine de Rapatel and its 12 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..
