"A fruity, velvety, and charming red that will never cease to captivate you—a true delight!"

"This wine smells so good, so quintessentially Languedoc, so irresistible. It offers sumptuous, abundant fruit, with a freshness reminiscent of ferns and moss by a mountain stream. It’s much fresher than I ever imagined—it exudes purity. Massive amounts of fruit. Saturated with the juice of red cherries and raspberries, a subtle balsamic note, a pinch of finely ground cloves and nutmeg. Tannins as soft as cashmere, with hints of tea leaves. A peppery finish, full of energy.” (Jancis Robinson 2024)

About wine:

This wine offers aromas of blackberry, dried red cherry, strawberry, and blueberry. A blend of red and black fruits dances on the palate, each taking turns to come to the fore. Slightly firm tannins lend concentration and body, lingering powerfully through to the finish.

About wine:

This wine smells so good, so quintessentially Languedoc, so irresistible. It offers sumptuous, abundant fruit, with a freshness reminiscent of ferns and moss by a mountain stream. It’s much fresher than I ever imagined—it exudes purity. Masses of fruit. Saturated with the juice of red cherries and raspberries, a subtle balsamic note, a pinch of finely ground cloves and nutmeg. Tannins as soft as cashmere, with hints of tea leaves. A peppery finish, full of energy.

Review by Mr. JAMES C. Posted on 02/27/2025

I have tasted many vintages of the Prestige, starting with the 2005. This 2021 is perhaps the least appealing, as it has very little to offer. I found it almost devoid of fruit and quite bland.
