A bit less ripe and rich than the Belleruche, the 2018 Cotes du Rhone Collection Bio shows some raspberry fruit, slightly herbal notes and fine, firm tannins. It's medium-bodied and streamlined on the palate, with plenty of length on the finish, even if it lacks a bit of roundness and generosity.

The 2016 Cotes du Rhone Collection Bio is a 60-40 blend of Grenache and Syrah, all grown organically. It features bright cherry fruit, modest spice and some chewy tannins on the finish. Drink this medium-bodied wine over the next 4-5 years.

The 2015 C?tes du Rh?ne Collection Bio is another destemmed blend of Grenache and Syrah that’s brought up in concrete tanks. It has medium-bodied richness and concentrated notes of blackberries, black raspberries, spring flowers and crushed violets, with a medium-bodied, seamless and elegant style on the palate. It’s a step up over the Belleruche and is a serious wine that sells for a song. Drink it over the coming 3-4 years.

One of two Bio releases, the 2014 C?tes du Rh?ne Rouge Collection Bio is an elegant, medium-bodied red that has pretty notes of black raspberry, spring flowers, truffle and loamy earth. It has rock solid concentration and plenty of texture, but will need to be drunk up.

Coming all from contracted biodynamically farmed vineyards, the 2013 C?tes du Rh?ne Collection Bio is another gem in the portfolio. Made from mostly Grenache, it has ripe raspberry, strawberry, flowers and violet-like qualities to go with a beautiful texture and forward, hard-to-resist profile. It’s a fantastic, Southern Rhone fruit bomb to enjoy over the coming couple of years.
