Robert Parker

"The 2011 Côtes-du-Roussillon Villages delivers classic aromas of red and black fruits, mineral, licorice and earthy scents in a full-bodied, lively, beautifully textured profile on the palate, with savory tannins. It will evolve well through 2019." (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker). A discreet chocolate note and a hint of saltiness on a finish that lingers admirably. A job well done!

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Domain rated (2016 guide) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than its predecessor)

About the domain :

Grégory Hecht and François Bannier have brought a breath of fresh air to the region, specializing from the outset, in 2002, in an ambitious and original quality trade. Carefully selecting their grapes from all around the Mediterranean, from Roussillon to Provence, they vinify and mature ambitious cuvées that often ring true. Every year, they visit several hundred domains vineyards to select only the finest grapes and juices, most often from hillside vineyards.

Wine rated (2015 guide) 15/20 (Good wine)

Domain rated (guide 2016) Selected (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and that, as such, all the domains that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).

About the wine:

The côtes-du-roussillon-villages expresses a beautiful, sunny, rocky typicity.

About the domain :

Grégory Hecht and François Bannier are continuing their wine merchant-ageing business specializing in wines from the Mediterranean arc (Languedoc, Roussillon and Provence), giving a salutary injection of youth to a region lacking initiatives of this kind. The selection is rigorous, with a precise, aromatic style that intelligently dispenses with the influence of new wood. While we salute the work accomplished and the consistency of the most ambitious cuvées, with Faugères and Saint-Chinian among the best in their respective appellations, the range also shows some weaknesses.
