"There is ardor in this wine otherwise endearing by the crispness of a spicy fruit, and distinguishing a comely facet of its region of origin." (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2016 - Gault Millau) Original and very pleasant!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2016 guide) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
Grégory Hecht and François Bannier have brought a breath of fresh air to the region, specializing from the outset, in 2002, in an ambitious and original quality trade. Carefully selecting their grapes from all around the Mediterranean, from Roussillon to Provence, they vinify and mature ambitious cuvées that often ring true. Every year, they visit several hundred estates to select only the finest grapes and juices, most often from hillside vineyards.
Guide des Vins Gault & Millau
Wine rated (2016 guide) 14/20 (Good)
About the wine:
There's a fiery spirit in this wine, otherwise endearing for its crisp, spicy fruit, and revealing an appealing facet of its region of origin.

About the domain :
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine noté (guide 2016) 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 :
Grégory Hecht and François Bannier continue their wine merchant-ageing business specializing in wines from the Mediterranean arc (Languedoc, Roussillon and Provence), giving a salutary injection of youth to a region lacking initiatives of this kind. The selection is rigorous, with a precise, aromatic style that intelligently dispenses with the influence of new wood. While we salute the work accomplished and the consistency of the most ambitious cuvées, with Faugères and Saint-Chinian among the best in their respective appellations, the range also shows some weaknesses.
