James Suckling
"A complex palette of aromas, hailed by a 96th James Suckling!
"A truly astonishing wine for this difficult vintage, with a deep nose of violets, tangerine and spices. The medium-bodied, highly concentrated palate is stunningly concentrated. An explosive stony minerality drives the extremely long finish, which is skilfully supported by very fine tannins. This wine is just beginning to reach the peak of its youth, but it has great aging potential." (James Suckling 2024) A word of advice: wait before opening!

Expert opinion
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine noté Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list, and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the domain :
In just a few vintages, the duo of Sébastien Dupré and Guillaume Goujon have asserted their confident, ambitious style. Long-time friends, they honed their skills with Frédéric Pourtalié at the Montcalmès estate for eight years, replacing cousin Vincent Guizard. After a few experiments, they signed their first vintage in 2015, with the emblematic cuvée 6.3.1 made from a blend of their parcels (60% L'Héronde, 30% Le Pavé, 10% Brûlhier).
