"Deep color, beginning to evolve. Forest nose (humus, leather, mushrooms) on a background of berries. Well-balanced, fleshy, elegant palate, with a successful emphasis on spicy-fruity aromas. The palate remains alert and fresh. A masterful style". (Le Guide des Vins 2017 - Gilbert & Gaillard)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Estate rated (2017 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
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 (guide 2015) Awarded wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by 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, single-hold vineyard extends mainly to the south of the appellation.
