"50-year-old Grenache and Syrah vines and 12 months' barrel ageing for this cuvée. Discreet, it requires a little patience to grasp its delicate aromas of black cherry and licorice. Framed by silky tannins, the palate is full-bodied, with warm flavors of garrigue and candied raspberry. Voluptuousness and balance for this well-typed red". (Le Guide Hachette 2023) All the charm of the southern Rhône!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domain Noted (2020 guide) Selected (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 :
For four generations, this estate has been steadily expanding. Today, it owns 78 hectares, mainly in the Drôme provençale region, around Grignan and Vinsobres. Consistent in quality, the wines offer fine expressions of their terroirs, thanks to controlled barrel ageing. The wines of the Grignan-les-Adhémar appellation are among the region's finest examples. Note the beautiful homogeneity of the samples tasted over the 2017 and 2018 vintages.

Note and review by M. MATHIEU W. Published on 12/11/2023
Robijnrode kleur met paarse kern. Aan de neus donker fruit, kersen, taartvulling en ook dat zoete van de garrigue hoog zomer. Verder wat aardsheid en kruidigheid. In de mond veel sappig, rijp en zoet donker fruit, bramen, pruimen, cassis. Gevolgd door kruidigheid en wat bittertjes van de nog goed aanwezige, fijnkorrelige tannine. Veel materie en ook die aardsheid en kruidigheid. Prima afdronk. Krachtige wijn die uitstekend bij winterse stoofschotels past. Score: 16/20
