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

About wine:
Although the wine shows signs of oak aging, it highlights smooth black fruit and ripe tannins. It will develop into a richly structured wine with excellent aging potential.

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

About wine:
A complex, multifaceted bouquet with aromas of roasted notes, spices, and fruity hints. An inviting character. Gradually, the fruitiness becomes more prominent. The palate opens with a salty, slightly creamy note. The wine has a fresh structure that lends it elegance and well-integrated tannins. There is a beautiful balance among the various elements. The wine still needs time to fully develop, so further aging in the cellar is recommended.
Vert de Vin
Wine rated (2020 guide) 90/100 (Jonathan Choukroun Chicheportiche)
About wine:
The nose is refined, precise, and offers a hint 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, juicy/crisp raspberry, and, more subtly, small red berries, combined with hints of violet, blueberry, and licorice root. The tannins are well-integrated. Good length.
