" The 2016 Séguret Grande Réserve is a product that puts everyone in agreement and ticks all my boxes. A fabulous perfume of blueberries, kirsch, ground pepper, violets and crushed rocks is followed by a voluptuous, expansive Rhône wine revealing full-bodied richness, expansive texture, mid-palate rocking depth and soft tannins. This is a sensational Seguret that will instantly transport you to those magnificent limestone hillsides of southern France." (Jeb Dunnuck)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine noté Sélectionné (An estate or house that has won us over with one or more wines from its production, without us being able to give a general opinion on the style of the entire range)
About the domain :
Nestled between Mont Ventoux and the charming village of Séguret, Domaine du Mourchon extends over 35 hectares, resting on a combination of clay and limestone soils.

Rated 90-92+/100 (Wonderful wine)
Domaine noté Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the wine:
The sample tasted in August of the Grande Réserve 2016 looked lush and rich when I visited in August. The tannins were softer than usual, the fruit unfolding toward blueberries and licorice while picking up a trace of warmth on the finish.
