Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 15/20 (Very good wine)
Estate rated (2017 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the wine:
A classic blend of honey and butter, rich, full-bodied, fairly long, with good substance and an interesting evolution in one year.
About the domain :
We're delighted to have given a helping hand to this property, which was unknown until recently, but since 2011 has shown a consistency of style that places it at the forefront of the appellation. On this southern slope, Grenache takes on the finesse of Pinot or Cinsault, with a refined texture that will delight connoisseurs accustomed to fine Burgundies. Maturing has progressed even further this year.
