Le Figaro
"A complex, multifaceted bouquet with aromas of roasted coffee, spices, and fruity notes. Inviting character. Gradually,the fruity expression gains prominence. Salty and slightly creamy on the palate. The wine has a fresh structure that gives it class and well-integrated tannins. Nice balance between the different elements. The wine still needs time to develop and therefore requires further aging in the cellar." (Yves Beck 2019) - Delivery in wooden cases for all orders of 6 bottles of this wine (excluding Point Relais delivery method).

About wine:
Although the wine shows its aging in wood, it brings out smooth black fruits and ripe tannins. It will evolve into a richly structured wine that will age well.

Wine rated (2018 guide) 16,5/20
About wine:
Deep purple. Lovely fresh aromas of red and black fruits, enhanced by a slight hint of cedar and a touch of oak sweetness. The wine is supple on the palate, even if the tannins are firm. Mellow on the finish, but not harsh. It needs a little time, but all the components are there, even if they haven't quite come together yet. Smooth finish with a chocolatey texture and oak that is quite dominant at the very end.

Vert de Vin
Wine rated (2020 guide) 90/100 (Jonathan Choukroun Chicheportiche)
About wine:
The nose is refined, precise, and offers a little power. There are notes of crisp blackberry, crisp wild red berries, and a lighter touch of lily, combined with subtle hints of Cubeb pepper, spices, and a very discreet hint of tea. The palate is fruity, balanced, and offers minerality, freshness, and good definition. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of juicy/crisp blackcurrant, juicy/crisp raspberry and, more subtly, small red berries combined with hints of violet, blueberry and licorice stick. The tannins are well integrated. Good length.
