From the land of just ten vignerons, co-operative winemaker Denis Deschamps crafts wines from shared grapes - the great value cuvées such as this Côtes du Rhône - and also makes wines for the different, privately owned domaines under their own names. All wines are bottled unfiltered, sometimes lending a slightly hazy look, but, more important, a satisfying density and mouthfeel.
