"Deep color with youthful highlights. Nose reminiscent of garrigue, with notes of cinnamon and stone fruit. The palate confirms the dominant fruitiness. Supple, elegant texture. A fresh, mentholated finish. A cuvée that favors finesse". (Le Guide des Vins 2016 - Gilbert & Gaillard)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Vin noté (guide 2016) 17/20 + Coup de Coeur (Vin de référence)
Domaine rated (2017 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production that sets the standard in its sector)
About the wine :
Its inimitable peony aroma, reminiscent of the great Pinot Noirs, is incredibly charming and delicate, and will surprise many. It's in a class of its own, but now a great classic of the appellation.
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.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine rated (2015 guide) Award-winning wines (Wines from this producer regularly win awards in the guide)
About the domain :
An estate founded in 1890 by Jean-Louis Geniest, descendant of a long line of coopers and merchants. The 30-hectare vineyard stretches across the southern part of the appellation.
