"Purplish purple. Intense, fresh, fruity bouquet with hints of black berries. Floral touch. Delicious on the palate, with a hint of chocolate. On the palate, the wine is pleasant, balanced and of medium intensity. The tannins are grainy and in symbiosis with the structure. Good freshness on the finish. A gourmet wine that can be enjoyed in its youth, but which nevertheless has potential." (Yves Beck 2018) - Delivered in wooden cases for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (excluding Point Relais delivery).

Wine rated (2020 guide) 93/100
About the wine:
A refined, well-balanced red with notes of blackcurrant, chocolate and hazelnut. What really stands out is the finesse and balance of the tannins, which give the wine length and composure. A fine finish. Drink now, but better in 2022.

Vert de Vin
Rated (2018 guide) 90-91/100 (Jonathan Choukroun Chicheportiche)
About the wine:
The nose is fresh, concentrated and powerful. Notes of blackcurrant, wild berries and, more lightly, minerality and fresh flowers are combined with hints of Sichuan pepper, tea and subtle hints of sweet spices, lily and vanilla. The palate is fruity, mineral, balanced, precise and straightforward, offering tension, a lovely guideline, freshness, fatness, substance, roundness and good definition. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of blackberry and fleshy/fresh blackcurrant, combined with hints of crisp strawberry, juicy/fresh red berries, a subtle hint of lily, as well as fine touches of toast, toasted almond and sweet spices. Fine, slightly dry tannins. Discreet hint of coffee on the finish/persistence.
The Wine Cellar Insider - Jeff Leve
Rated wine (2018 guide) 89/100
About the wine:
The bouquet is smoky and full of black cherries. The wine is full-bodied, energetic and vibrant, unfolding with dark red fruits. Drink now for the sensation and save for the hint of dark chocolate that carries through to the fruit and espresso-tinged finish.
