Presentation
This cuvée takes its name from one of the gates in the ramparts of Avignon, the “Saint Roch” Gate, also known as the “Wine Gate”, which opens onto the countryside surrounding the city. It was through this gate that the Popes made their way to the vineyards, which stretch from the gates of Avignon to Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, along a hillside extending from the village of Caumont-sur-Durance to Sorgues, in one of the most prestigious wine regions of the Rhône Valley.

Tasting
Nice deep colour. Aromas of fresh red berries and spices. The palate is soft and supple on entry, with notes of liquorice and spice. The tannins are smooth and silky.
Food pairings
A versatile companion to grilled lamb, roast duck, Provençal-style dishes, hearty Mediterranean cuisine, charcuterie and mature cheeses. Its smooth tannins and spicy character also make it a natural match for slow-cooked meats and herb-infused dishes.
