Our top-rated flagship old-vine Grenache and Syrah blend,
our version of a Southern Rhône classic.

DESCRIPTION
We named our Grenache blend after the famed philosopher Pierre Abélard to reflect its forceful, brooding intensity and gravitas. Our old Grenache vines flourish at this high altitude. At harvest the scent of wild strawberries and black fruit wafts through the winery. We strive to capture and showcase this highly perfumed aroma, then add a splash of Syrah to add to the complex structure.

We produce this wine as an ‘homage’ to the original Abélard and Héloïse, whose unwavering commitment to each other is mirrored in our own convictions. To read their story, click here.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Abélard likes “fur”, pairing well with roasts, like venison and beef, and slow-roasted vegetables. It’s also a great match for spicy foods and flavorful cheeses, such as Roquefort and Stilton. Decant for several hours and serve at room temperature or slightly cooler. Ageing potential: 25-30 years.

Our rich and complex white wine that’s the perfect accompaniment to succulent dishes.

DESCRIPTION
A blend of Roussanne complemented by Grenache Blanc and Marsanne, Aliot is perfumed and powerful. Its rich concentration of fruit and dense structure make it an ideal candidate for oak-aging, which we employ to craft a true vin-de-garde. Its complexity, exotic aromatics and long ageing potential have made Aliot an award-winning wine since its inaugural vintage.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Burgundy-style white, pairs beautifully with salmon or poultry in white sauce, pâté, vegetables such as asparagus and artichokes and traditional French cheeses. Serve lightly chilled at 14°C. Ageing potential: 10-12 years.

Our top-rated Syrah & Grenache with a splash of aromatic white, our tip of the hat to the wines of the Northern Rhône.

DESCRIPTION
Refined, with unwavering elegance, our Syrah blend is named after the brilliant and beautiful Héloïse d’Argenteuil for its balance of concentration, restraint and ripe, supple texture. Our fine Syrah blends beautifully with the highly perfumed old-vine Grenache but also blossoms with the floral notes of our high-altitude white varieties, like Viognier or Roussanne, bringing Héloïse stylistically closer to her cousins in the Northern Rhône.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Héloïse likes “feathers”, especially goose, duck or turkey with all the trimmings. It also pairs beautifully with lamb or stuffed mushrooms. Decant for several hours, and serve at room temperature or slightly cooler. Ageing potential: 25-30 years.

Our elegant and fresh Viognier that shows the
juxtaposition of being in the hot south at high altitude.

DESCRIPTION
As grapes go, Viognier is more finicky than most. Too much sun sends the aromatics into overdrive, while too little can yield wines nearly devoid of character. But once again, owing to our altitude and extreme diurnal range, we are able to thread the needle, crafting a wine with voluptuous texture, fresh acidity and beguiling aromas of flowers and honey. Indeed, a veritable ‘tip of the hat’ to the Viogniers of the Northern Rhône.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Perfect for aperitifs. Also pairs excellently with poultry, fried foie gras, white fish with crème, fresh ceviche, seafood tartare or blue cheeses. Serve slightly chilled at 14°C.

The “teenager” of our family of reds,
a lively and expressive Grenache-Syrah blend.

DESCRIPTION
In real life, Astralabe was the son of famous medieval lovers Héloïse and Abélard, who gave their names to our twin flagship reds. This cuvée, younger in age and in spirit than its complex collectible “parents,” is our vibrant yet easy-drinking Grenache-Syrah blend.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Perfect for everyday cuisine or with fresh Mediterranean fare. Well paired ideally with red or white meat, grilled fish and olive oil-based cuisine. Serve at room temperature or slightly cooler.

Our food-friendly Rosé is made from old vines and a gentle direct press.

DESCRIPTION
Le Rosé is produced with the utmost respect for both the environment and the consumer. Old-vine Grenache blended with Syrah, Cinsault and a dash of Mourvèdre and Rolle (Vermentino) are gently pressed, fermented for 3 weeks at low temperatures, then fined using organic green pea powder, making this a vegan-friendly wine for the 21st century. Its rich texture and complexity, long finish and ageability make this a rosé that is designed to pair with food all throughout the year.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Ideal with seafood and shellfish but also a perfect accompaniment to lightly spiced dishes, summer salads or tender lamb. Serve at 14°C. Ageing potential: 3-5 years.

Only available in 75cl format.
