"With its deep color, this wine reveals scents of macerated raspberry, undergrowth, stave wood and licorice. Suave and vanilla-scented, the attack is surprising, with raspberry inviting blackcurrant, followed by jammy fruit on a spicy background. The whole is harmonious and expressive".

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domain Noted (2020 guide) Selected (An estate or house that has won us over with one or more wines from its production, without us being able to give a general opinion on the style of the entire range)
About the domain :
This estate, original in its marketing approach as much as in its wine style, produces cuvées with amusing labels that often linger in the memory. The Perez family travels, thinks and begins to find the way to better recognition of their products. The estate is a good source for powerful, colorful reds, which are sure to fuel debate with their often original and always highly mature profiles.

About the domain :
South of Perpignan, Charles Perez has been running his own domaine since 2008 in the hamlet of Nyls, in the Aspres region: 25 hectares of organic vineyards planted on three hills within a 110-hectare estate. In reds, his blends give pride of place to Syrah. Each year, a different artist "sketches" this vineyard figure to illustrate his labels. The same goes for the members of his family. A sort of Catalan Mouton Rothschild!

Phew, what a good wine. I recommend it 200%. Just so you know, it's 15.5% but it's really good. J'adore

Note and review by M. PIERRE K. Published on 16/07/2018
Color: very dark purple, depth: opaque, brilliance: sparkling. Many micro-deposits: unfiltered wine First nose: dominant Shiraz. On aeration, the nose is incredibly fresh for a wine at 15.5%: stewed raspberries, blackcurrants, followed by vanilla, licorice, leather, black olives and sweet spices. On the palate, the fruit explodes! Crushed raspberry, blackcurrant, then spices arrive to finish on vanilla notes. Slight sweetness A wine of impressive balance, complexity and length. Enjoy now or in the next two years.

Note and review by M. MATTHIEU D. Published on 17/02/2018
A truly wonderful discovery. A handful of red fruit in every sip. A powerful wine at 15.5°, but very well made, so it goes down very well. Great length on the palate. A wine I highly recommend, as there are no nasty surprises!
