The “galets roulés” are the symbol of the estate—huge, round quartz stones that remind one that these vineyards once were the Rhône's ancient riverbed. Winemaker Bruno Gaspard selects his oldest vines and the stoniest soils inside the estate “clos” for this deeply fruited and very spicy Côtes du Rhône. "…reveals aromas of sweet wild mountain berry fruit, forest floor, pepper, spring flowers and, as its name suggests, a hint of crushed rock that gives the wine a structured minerality. It also possesses beautiful density and the vintage’s soft, succulent style. "—The Wine Advocate
