Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Vin noté 90/100
Noted domain 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
Mas Conscience has changed hands and is now run by Audrey Bonnet-Koenig, who was previously in charge of technical aspects at Château de Sérame and now runs La Peira after a spell at Dubourdieu. She is assisted by renowned oenologist Claude Gros. Let's wish this new team every success in perpetuating the qualitative renewal of this fine estate initiated by Nathalie and Éric Ajorque.

About the wine :
Syrah, Grenache Noir and Cinsault combine in this cuvée, which doesn't play hard to get and makes the most of the vintage: ripe tannins gently curve an elegant body, round and sunny, powerful yet fine, imbued with black fruits, spices and licorice. The finish, clean, greedy and without an ounce of bitterness, is convincing.
About the domain :
Created by Éric and Nathalie Ajorque, this 15-hectare organic estate at the foot of the Séranne massif was bought in 2000 by Roman Kocholl, who realized his dream after a long career in the digital sector in Hamburg. At the helm is Audrey Bonnet, an agricultural engineer and former director of the Peira winery, supported by Claude Gros, a renowned consultant oenologist.

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 21/03/2024
The bouquet of this TDL surprises with its intense aromas of tart red and black fruits, enhanced by spicy and licorice notes. The palate is full-bodied and full-bodied, with graphite accents, a fine structure and straight, slightly harsh tannins, resulting in a well-balanced whole, without heaviness of style. The finish is persistent, muscular and firm. Let it breathe a little. Good R. Q/P. This youthful TDL awakened our taste buds with a sauté of Lozère lamb with black olives and rosemary, enhanced by a pinch of Espelette pepper. Score = 3.9.
