"One of the best wines is indeed this 2015 Rasteau La Fontaine, certainly one of the jewels of the vintage. It might even surpass the sensational 2010. Notes of charcoal, blackberries, blackcurrants and beautiful minerality are concentrated in a full-bodied, ripe, elegant and intoxicating palate, loaded with Provençal character. Count me in as a fan, it will drink well for more than a decade." (Wine Avocate 2016 - Robert Parker)

About the wine:
One of the best wines is this 2015 Rasteau La Fontaine, certainly one of the jewels of the vintage. It may even surpass the sensational 2010. Notes of charcoal, blackberries, blackcurrants and beautiful minerality are concentrated in a full-bodied, ripe, elegant and intoxicating palate, loaded with Provençal character. Count on me, as a fan, to drink it well for over ten years.
