"Rich, subtle nose blending blackberry and elderberry notes, balanced and precise, well within its vintage with freshness and substance, it avoids the over-extraction and over-ripening of many of its peers. Lots of charm. (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 15/20 (Very good wine)
About the wine:
Rich, subtle nose with notes of blackberry and elderberry, balanced and precise, well within its vintage with freshness and substance, it avoids the over-extraction and over-ripening of many of its peers. Lots of charm.
Wine Spectator
Wine rated (2014 guide) 90/100 (Very good wine)
Wine Enthusiast
Wine rated (2014 guide) 90/100
About the wine:
With a medicinal note, this is a wine with great potential. For now, it's firm, dry and deeply tannic. Volume brings the promise, offering rich fruit in the future. Impressive and concentrated.
James Suckling
Wine rated (2014 guide) 90/100
About the wine:
This is a lively, rich wine with lovely silky tannins and a chalky, dark chocolate and blackberry style. Full and juicy.

Note and review by M. JEAN-MARC D. Published on 24/04/2020
Difficult vintage. Fleshy wine, with good substance, but rich in alcohol and thick. Notes of stone fruit and spices. A wine for winter tables...

Excellent year for this wine. Lots of perfume and roundness. Not aggressive.

Superb wine, powerful, very woody, a 2011 drunk in 2019 and it still has seriously under the foot ... I really enjoyed it.
