"
Beautiful, elegant nose of sweet, fresh fruit with redcurrant, blueberry, wild strawberry and raspberry. On the palate, it's fresh, dense and powerful, with well-structured tannins ..." (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2011 - Gault Millau) " As with previous vintages, this cuvée is a sure bet " (Robert Parker - June 2011). Vintage after vintage, this consistently successful cuvée is one of the best value for money wines in the region!

In fact, not much to say about it... either it wasn't the right time, or it really lacks character. Nothing bad. Nothing exciting.

Full-bodied, even thick. Can be drunk well chilled. You have to like it.

A powerful, aromatic wine, impressive in terms of consistency and tannin, similar to the best vintages of the Côte du Rhône. I really liked it, and I'm looking forward to a six-pack! However, it's essential to let it air for an hour or two before tasting.
