Robert Parker

"The 2013 Pic Saint-Loup Gran'tonillières shows superb intensity and depth, in a bouquet of black and blue fruits, licorice, flowers and broken rock. It gives way to a medium-bodied, elegant and structured Pic Saint-Loup, with fine tannins, excellent purity and a superb finish. It will evolve nicely over the decade." (Wine Advocate 2016 - Robert Parker)

About the domain :

Situated to the north of the Pic Saint-Loup cru, this estate consists of a large parcel of southwest-facing hillside on limestone scree, planted mainly with Grenache and Syrah. This is the Foulaquier terroir proper, which is joined on the estate by the siltier north-east-facing Tonillières terroir. This adventure, which began in 1998, is led by the couple Pierre Jequier, a former architect, and Blandine Chauchat, a former parliamentary official. These passionate winegrowers have restructured the estate, whose origins go back a long way, moving it towards organic and then biodynamic farming certification. After a few minor adjustments, they now offer a renewed range of healthy, tasty and fragrant wines, most of which are matured in a reducing environment.
