"This wine is very dark, almost black in color. The nose is intense, dominated by black fruits and pepper. The palate is straightforward and well-constructed, with youthful tannins counterbalanced by smoothness and freshness on the finish. This is a wine of great emotion, which deserves to be decanted to open up even more". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2016)

Domaine noté Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the wine:
A blend of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre, Pic Saint Loup Dame Jeanne 2013 is medium-bodied, nicely concentrated and balanced. It offers aromas of raspberry, broken rock and a touch of licorice and earth. There's a lovely purity of fruit and depth on the palate.
