"On schist, Syrah expresses all the intensity of this beautiful Languedoc terroir in a full, dense wine with concentrated, rich substance. Powerful attack on the palate, rich sap and structured tannins. A fine, complete, long wine with excellent substance". (Le Guide des bonnes affaires du vin 2016 - Gerbelle & Maurange)
