"Dense and tightly woven, it unfolds with elegance and distinction, silky tannins to support it. Black fruit, Havana, fine leather, licorice, long, spicy finish, for ageing, fulfilled, velvety chew, intrinsic balance, silky, fair and precise." (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France 2018)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated (2018 guide) 18/20 (benchmark wine)
Domaine rated (2018 guide) 4*Stars (High-quality producers, the glories of the French vineyard)
About the domain :
In conversation with Jérôme Bressy, an erudite and fascinating man, we enjoy listening to his knowledge, rich in the tricks of the old hands, the ancestral practices that have given birth to the great wines of the Vaucluse. Attentive to his terroir and the ampelographic diversity of his vines, he is a rare artisan in the winegrowing landscape. His igp vaucluse wines are exceptional, true blotters of the Rasteau terroir, tracings of old varieties treated with respect and care. In the cellar, patience and experience go hand in hand with time to produce some of the finest vintages in the Southern Rhône Valley. With each vintage, he raises his standards to achieve tangible perfection. Once again, he has demonstrated this this year.
