Presentation
Bordered by majestic holm oaks (Quercus Ilex), Château Quilex is now the pride and joy of François BERUD and his children (Nicolas, Frédéric and Caroline), heirs to a family tradition rooted in their love of the land and wine. Initiated by grandfather Charles, then developed by his parents Henri and Odile, the estate has grown with passion and know-how. François, a passionate agronomist open to innovation, was the first to vinify a Côtes du Rhône Villages GADAGNE on this unique terroir.
The estate covers 14 hectares, 8 of which are classified as Côtes-du-Rhône Villages Gadagne. Annual production is 300 hectoliters (+/- 35,000 bottles).

Tasting
Deep and intense color with vibrant purple hues.
The nose is powerful and complex, revealing ripe black fruit aromas (blackcurrant, blackberry) subtly enhanced by spicy notes.
On the palate, the wine offers roundness and balance, supported by silky tannins. The aromatic profile is harmonious, combining small dark fruits, sweet spices, and a hint of licorice.
The finish is long and elegant, with excellent aromatic persistence.

Winemaker’s Tip:
"My favorite way to enjoy it is with a hearty meat dish in sauce, a beautiful barbecued rib of beef, or a selection of aged cheeses."
