Guide des Meilleurs vins de France 2025: 91/100
The L'As du Pique cuvée from domaine Pique-Basse is an organic wine with a strong personality! The nose of this Grenache-dominated Côtes-du-Rhône Village Roaix opens with notes of blackcurrant liqueur, candied orange peel and Morello cherry, followed by a blend of grilled and even smoky spices. On the palate, the suave, round, fleshy attack of ripe red fruit is followed by notes of spice and pepper, all in perfect balance with a lovely structure and tightly-knit tannins.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, an east/south-east-facing vineyard facing 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."

The Cuvée Au Coeur de Ventabren from Domaine Pique-Basse comes from plots of Syrah planted in 1975 in the foothills of the Ventabren massif at a place called "Croix de Cornu" with clay soil (a mixture of yellow and white marls) naturally giving a low yield of 30 hectoliters per hectare. The color is dark, almost black, with blood-red highlights. The nose opens with smoky notes of black pepper and blond tobacco, followed by mineral aromas and well-integrated wood. The palate, all spicy length, is perfectly matched by the freshness of smooth, taut, still-tight tannins.

The open, pleasing whole seduces with its already mature expression.

L'atout du Pique du domaine Pique-Basse is a cuvée from a single 45-year-old plot of white Grenache, very rare in a "roaixois" landscape dominated by red wines, located below the Ventraben massif lieu dit les crottes. This 100% Grenache blanc develops notes of sun-kissed fruit, followed by a remarkable balance between mellowness and freshness, finishing with a citrus/fennel duo. A gastronomic white!
