Le Figaro
“A complex, multifaceted bouquet with aromas of roasted notes, spices, and fruity hints. An inviting character. Gradually,the fruity character becomes more prominent. A salty and slightly creamy start. The wine has a fresh structure that lends it class, along with well-integrated tannins. A beautiful balance among the various elements. The wine still needs time to fully develop, so cellaring is recommended.” (Yves Beck 2019) - Delivered in a wooden case for any order of 6 bottles of this wine (excluding “Point Relais” delivery method)

About the wine:
Although the wine shows signs of aging in oak, it highlights smooth black fruit and ripe tannins. It will develop into a richly structured wine with good aging potential.
Jancis Robinson
Wine rated (2018 guide) 16,5/20
About the wine:
Deep purple. Lovely fresh and spicy aromas of red and black fruits, with a subtle hint of cedar and a touch of oak sweetness. The wine is supple on the palate, even though the tannins are firm. The finish is smooth but not harsh. It needs a little time, but all the components are there, even if they haven’t quite come together yet. The finish is smooth with a chocolatey texture, and the oak is quite dominant at the very end.

Vert de Vin
Wine rated (2020 guide) 90/100 (Jonathan Choukroun Chicheportiche)
About the wine:
The nose is refined, precise, and offers a touch of intensity. It reveals notes of crisp blackberry, crisp wild red berries, and, more subtly, lily, combined with delicate hints of Cuben pepper, spices, and a very subtle 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 and juicy, crisp raspberry, along with more subtle hints of small red berries, combined with touches of violet, blueberry, and licorice root. The tannins are well-integrated. Good length.
