A young, powerful wine that requires decanting or aeration. Excellent value for money

I find this wine very typical of Luberon, with good length and fruitiness. A real wine for summer cooking.

Note and review by M. FRANCOIS C. Published on 06/04/2014
This wine gave me a hard time giving you my opinion (an amateur's opinion...). The color is red without being light or dark. It is limpid. The first nose didn't offer me a powerful bouquet, although there were a few fruity notes. On the other hand, there were a few problems on the palate. Not tannic at all, this wine reminded me of the worst hours of winemaking. At first, I had the impression of drinking the best of fine chemistry... But once the surprise wore off, this wine was easy to drink. Yes, it is! Moderately long on the palate, it will suit less sensitive palates like mine. A nice little wine for marinated kebabs in summer. That's why I gave it a 4. I'm even thinking of recommending a few bottles, given its original character.
