Rating: Robert Parker 91/100
"A wonderful bargain!" (Robert Parker). This 100% Mourvèdre is impressively fruity, with explosive, fresh aromas and lovely structure. The acidity is perfect, balancing the wine alongside very pleasant tannins—the winery’s signature. A rich, indulgent wine that’s a true delight on the palate!

A magnificent Mourvèdre best enjoyed young. Note: It doesn't age as well as its Bandol cousin.

A full-bodied, powerful wine that should be decanted for an hour...

A decent wine, but still a bit young for my taste. It probably deserves to be cellared for another two years. Compared to a Castano Monatrell, it falls a bit short. One to watch, then.

Review by Mr. PIERRE AXEL S. Posted on 12/04/2013
This wine isn't easy to appreciate, as it's heavy and sorely lacks finesse, dominated by spices. By the fourth bottle, I finally managed to enjoy it by decanting it more than four hours before tasting. It’s much better, with good length on the palate, but it remains massive! And too oaky. It’s the kind of wine Mr. Parker loves!

Excellent value for money. Concentrated, fruity, and mineral. I've never been disappointed by the wines from this winery.

Excellent! But be sure to serve it at a temperature no higher than 15°C. Otherwise, the wine’s alcohol content will interfere with the tasting experience. Just a friendly reminder for those who have the bad habit of letting their wine warm up!

A truly amazing wine. Very fruity, full-bodied, a bit high in alcohol but well-structured, and under 10 euros. A real treat!

At this point, I found this wine to be pretty average, and I don't understand either its rating or the tasting notes!!! And it's not a bad bottle—it's strong, it's rough, it's just so-so.

A smooth, I would say modern wine, pleasant both on the nose and on the palate, best enjoyed young with duck pâté and raspberries.
