Created in 1925, the Cave de Rasteau is one of the oldest cellars of the Côtes-du-Rhône wines। The Cellar owes its notoriety with the wines Doux Naturels thanks to Grenache black, type of vine king of the appellation. Misant always on Grenache, but by adding Syrah et Mourvèdre, the Cellar produces today dry red wines recognized and appreciated in the whole world.
