"Sine Nomine but not without personality, far from it. This deep, brilliant Collioure, with its lovely coppery highlights, delivers a complex, intense nose of stewed red and black fruits, white pepper, licorice and cocoa. The palate, in unison with the bouquet, appears ample, dense and rich, backed by elegant, silky tannins and a fine freshness that gives it renewed vigor on the finish. Already harmonious, this wine has not said its last word". (Le Guide Hachette 2024)

About the wine:
Sine Nomine but not without personality, far from it. This deep, brilliant Collioure, with its lovely copper highlights, delivers a complex, intense nose of stewed red and black fruits, white pepper, licorice and cocoa. The palate, in unison with the bouquet, appears ample, dense and rich, backed by elegant, silky tannins and a fine freshness that gives it renewed vigor on the finish. Already harmonious, this wine has not said its last word.
About the domain :
Established in the heart of Collioure, in one of the town's smallest streets, this estate has been run since 2006 by Laetitia Piétri-Clara, who took over from her mother Maguy. Supported by oenologist Hélène Grau, the winemaker continues the tradition begun in the late 19th century by her great-grandfather Étienne Géraud, a doctor who returned to the family vineyards. The vineyard covers 20 ha, mainly in the Banyuls and Collioure appellations.

About the wine:
Grenache asserts itself on the nose, then on the palate, the grape's pleasant range and sweetness give this wine its seductive, generous, slightly spicy profile, with striking fruit. This is a wine of immediate pleasure, where you can enjoy the sensuality of Midi reds. (La RVF n°682, July-August 2024)

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 01/07/2024
Roussillon is home to many nuggets, including this dazzling Sine Nomine. Beautiful attack, as fresh as it is greedy. Then comes a complexity of jammy black fruits, intermingled with notes of spice, humus and leather on a spherical palate, with great depth dominated by its structure. Endowed with astonishing sapidity, the graceful texture benefits from tannins as powerful as they are refined. A hint of saltiness adds personality and depth to the intense, voluptuous finish, which is enhanced by a touch of toast. Potential. However, we're already enjoying this devilishly charming Collioure with duck aiguillettes with black mushrooms and bambo shoots, .served with fragrant rice. Score = 4.3.
