15/20
Bettane & Desseauve
"Deep garnet-red, slightly evolved. Complex nose, garrigue, beautiful grilled and spicy tones, discreet oak. Suave attack, magnificent velvety, ample, full-bodied substance, one breathes an arid, wild landscape, the terroir in the bottle. Superb." (Le Guide des Vins 2015 - Gilbert & Gaillard)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2015 guide) 15/20 Coup de Coeur (Very good wine)
Domaine rated (2015 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the wine:
Nose of tapenade and garrigue, structured and spicy on the palate.
About the domain :
The ten or so hectares planted on this north-facing slope of the Alpilles, on clay-limestone soils, produce increasingly accomplished reds that can evolve well over time, with a freshness on the finish that's just right. Neil Joyce can be proud of his latest vintages.
