This cuvée is one of Domaine Peyre Rose's best-known for its volume, power, and lusciousness. The equally famous "Clos des Cistes" cuvée offers wines of great depth and complexity, with superb, well-structured tannins. The last red cuvée,“Marlene” smells deliciously fragrantand composed of equal proportions of Syrah and Grenache, complemented by Tempranillo. Finally, the white cuvée “Oro” is produced in very small quantities, making its wines rare and coveted. Composed of Rolle, Roussanne, and Viognier, and aged for several years in vats, the wines of this cuvée offer flavors of biscuits and dried yellow fruits, and exhibit a perfect balance that makes this Languedoc white one of the most accomplished in the region.
