"Attractive, deep garnet-red color. Expressive, typical nose of stone fruit (ripe cherry), with a pleasantly acidic ambience. The palate is a model of freshness and balance, with its typical aromatic palette. The finish is delicately spicy". (Le Guide des Vins 2014 - Gilbert & Gaillard)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Scored (2016 guide) 14/20 (Good wine)
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.
