It is the only Corbières estate awarded as high as 3 stars (max 5) in the brand new Bettane/Desseauve Grand Guide des Vins de France 2008 (this guide is slated for translation into English and will be worth investigating - it is also the subject of some controversy on a rival board).
I have enjoyed but not been overwhelmed by those of its wines which I have tried but have never had its much praised top cuvée, Romain Pauc. If you see this, it should be worth trying.
