Presentation
Still standing after more than 2,000 years, the bridge at Vaison-la-Romaine is the village’s pride and joy. The architectural balance, the monument's strength in the face of the elements and its longevity are like the wines: intense and long. Their freshness rivals that of the Ouvèze which runs down there and comforts visitors with its rattling so harmless in appearance. Let’s be wary of this “Roman” cuvée and its all-hidden power.

The aromatic complexity: red fruit, gray pepper and tarragon and the velvety tannins maintain a flawless persistence and intensity. Young or advanced, the Pont Romain will be able to impose its presence.
