Robert Parker

"A blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 20% Carignan aged exclusively in concrete tanks, the 2016 Cuvée Constance is a thing of beauty. Quite floral, full of cherries and raspberries. Full-bodied, supple and creamy on the palate, this is a beautiful, ripe, sexy material that lingers deliciously on the finish." (Wine Advocate 2018 - Joe Czerwinski)

The alcohol content takes precedence over the aromas, which is a shame.
