We love it...Guide des meilleurs vins de France 2020, domaine 2 étoiles : "In less than ten years, this winemaker from Anjou, brother of the famous Jo Pithon from the Coteaux du Layon, has established himself as one of the benchmark estates in Roussillon. Olivier Pithon's viticulture is committed to respecting terroirs and indigenous grape varieties. He is now asserting a very personal style, giving birth to authentic, straightforward wines that progress from year to year, more precise and regular today in the entry-level wines. Cuvée D18, made from white and gray Grenache, has established itself as one of the finest whites in the south; the Macabeu is just as exceptional. The reds are even more captivating now that they are vinified in whole bunches. The consistency, frankness of expression and intensity of flavor of the wines coming out of the new winery on the heights of Calce have earned the estate a quick second star, again brilliantly confirmed this year."
