The Cuvée Chasse-Coeur from domaine Pique-Basse is a superb Côtes du Rhône village. Full-bodied and well-structured, this cuvée has a lovely depth, deliciousness and substance to face generous dishes. Domaine de Pique-Basse is a superb estate in the Roaix appellation. Originally from Franche-Comté, Olivier Tropet trained as a nologist. In 1998, he took over his grandfather's vineyards in the Rhône valley, at the foot of the Ventabren massif and to the east of the Rasteau terroir, a vineyard facing east/south-east, opposite Mont Ventoux. Guide des meilleurs vins de France 2020, domaine 1 étoile: "We've been following Olivier Tropet for several vintages, and each time his wines seduce us with their rightness of tone, whether it's on the too little-known Roaix terroir, which he enhances wonderfully, or with his sumptuous Rasteau."
