“A rich and subtle nose blending notes of blackberry and elderberry; balanced and precise, true to its vintage with freshness and body, it avoids the excessive extraction and overripeness found in many of its peers. Very charming.” (The Bettane & Desseauve Guide to French Wines)

About the wine:

A rich and subtle nose blending notes of blackberry and elderberry; balanced and precise, true to its vintage with freshness and body, it avoids the excessive extraction and overripeness found in many of its peers. Very charming.

Wine Spectator

Wine rated (2014 guide) 90/100 (Very good wine)

Wine Enthusiast

Wine rated (2014 guide) 90/100

About the wine:

With a medicinal note, this wine shows great potential. For now, it is firm, dry, and deeply tannic. Its body holds promise, suggesting rich fruitiness in the future. Impressive and concentrated.

James Suckling

Wine rated (2014 guide) 90/100

About the wine:

This is a lively, rich wine with beautifully silky tannins and notes of chalk, dark chocolate, and blackberry. Full-bodied and juicy.

Review and comment by Mr. JEAN-MARC D. Posted on April 24, 2020

A challenging vintage. A full-bodied wine with good structure, though high in alcohol and heavy. Notes of stone fruit and spices. A wine for winter dinners...
