The 2008 vintage was rated: Guide Hachette 2** (Remarkable Wine)
The Champ aux Loups is a red wine that offers aromas of red berries and violets, with a hint of oak that adds complexity. The attack on the palate is powerful and generous, delighting the palate with its structure and the sensation of biting into the fruits detected on the nose. A wonderful experience!

Review by Mr. CHRISTOPHE Y. Published on 12/10/2019
We had a bottle back in 2014 and were a little disappointed. But when we tasted it in 2019, what a surprise! It’s absolutely excellent and should have at least three more good years ahead of it!
