Note: Robert Parker 90-91+/100
" The 2008 offered a great deal of dynamism, but this 2010 surpasses it, and with its expression on typical schist of stone and smoke, it also surpasses the 2007 ..." (Robert Parker - June 2011). With its beautiful aromas of red and black fruits, its mineral touch and its rich body, Constance remains, vintage after vintage, always a success and is one of the best value for money wines in the region!

A delicious, fruity wine offering remarkable value for money. Not the epitome of finesse, but a pleasure to drink.

You can smell the grapes gorged with sugar by the sun. Exceptional value for money.

A fine cuvée not often mentioned, yet full-bodied and supple on the palate, with an elegant, brilliant color.

disappointing. Moreover, a Côtes du Roussillon Villages identified as "33"...

Note and review by M. CHRISTOPHE B. Published on 05/12/2012
A wine that leaves no one indifferent: 15 degrees! The alcoholic character is not very pronounced, and I enjoyed this warm, full-bodied wine, which is nevertheless quite fine. A lovely wine of the sun, for power-lovers though!
