Rasteau's south-facing vineyards and magnificent diversity of clay-limestone, marl and sandstone soils have played a huge role in seeing the village elevated to cru status in 2010. The wines are noted for their structure, aromatics and complex black fruit flavours. Traditionally Grenache and Mourv�dre, Rasteau has seen an increase in the use of Syrah, which adds floral and spice notes to the final blend.
