"A confidential, high-flying vintage!
"Tasted before bottling. Black fruit and Mediterranean scents on the nose (olives, blueberries), round on the palate with well-sheathed tannins, superb freshness on the finish where we recognize the partial contribution of the whole harvest." (Le Guide des Vins Bettane & Desseauve)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 95/100
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the wine:
Tasted before bottling. Black fruit and Mediterranean scents on the nose (olives, blueberries), round on the palate with well-sheathed tannins, superb freshness on the finish where the partial contribution of the whole harvest can be recognized.
About the domain :
What a meteoric rise for this new winegrower, who has only been in business since 2009. The constant care he devotes to his various plots and the precise work in the cellar enable him to produce Saint Joseph, Condrieu and Côte-Rôtie wines that are on the podium of their respective appellations. In 2020, the côte-rôtie fongeant will approach perfection. The challenge for enthusiasts will be to get their hands on a few bottles.

Domaine rated (guide 2024) 2*Stars (These great estates, often endowed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the domain :
Created in 2008, this estate has gone from strength to strength. It has gradually expanded without losing its philosophy: to produce wines with identity. In the reds, the proportion of whole grapes varies according to the cuvée. High-quality ageing enhances and refines the wines, without over-pommading them. White wines retain their finesse. The quality and homogeneity of the entire production are remarkable.
