"Dense and tannic on the palate, very full-bodied, with very expressive black fruit notes, the wine appears to be of great intensity and certainly of great potential." (Le Grand Guide des Vins de France 2009 Bettane & Desseauve). A cuvée full of finesse, far from body-built wines, 100% Mourvèdre in an exceptional 2005 vintage.
