    Le Guide Hachette des Vins

    Le Guide Hachette des Vins Critique professionnel

    "Toute la générosité des vieux ceps de grenache et la droiture de la syrah sont concentrées dans cette cuvée, qui dévoile une palette aromatique « très rasteau » : garrigue et aromates, olive noire, cerise et mûre. S'ajoutent à cette gamme de douces nuances cacaotées dans un palais riche et rond, aux tanins enrobés."

    Suberb wine, round with body, beautiful color, nose full of character announcing a delicate palate with enough tannin but not too much. Confirms an exceptional year. A must in any cellar worthy of the name.

    A very fine wine with a real perfume of garrigue, the value for money is particularly interesting. Perfect to drink now, I don't give it 5 stars because it won't keep very long (2 years max, I'd say).

    Cuvée 2014, a pleasant wine to enjoy around a barbecue, with good grilled meats. Powerful and fruity, with spicy notes. Can be drunk now, but I'm keeping a few bottles to rediscover in a year or two.

    Very dark color, red fruit nose, very powerful palate (15°), blackcurrant, licorice, with good length. Very typical of the appellation. In conclusion: I'll have another!

    Powerful, fruity, fairly tannic too, with little woodiness. A Rhône wine of good quality, but still 15°... a little too much for my taste, and I agree with one of the comments: it would be useful to systematically indicate the alcohol content.
