"A wine that's still young but has undeniable potential!"

A blend of unequal proportions of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Grenache that flourishes on a dolomitic, clay-limestone terroir. The nose, fairly reserved at first, opens up to reveal beautiful complexity filled with notes of forest floor, leather, garrigue, black fruits (blackberry, blueberry), and red fruits (fresh cherry), coffee, mocha, a hint of vanilla, cinnamon, licorice, and immortelle flowers. The palate is velvety and mineral, featuring tertiary aromas of coffee and forest floor, as well as fresh black fruits and figs, complemented by hints of cocoa and pepper, culminating in a licorice-tinged finish.

Wine rated (2025 guide) 92/100 (2021 vintage)

Selected Estate (An estate or winery that has impressed us with one or more of its wines, though we are unable to offer a general assessment of the style of its entire lineup)

About the estate:

Carpe Diem, the famous Latin phrase, means “Seize the day without worrying about tomorrow.” This motto is close to the heart of Albéric Philippon, who took over the estate in 2013. Situated on the clay-limestone soils of Cotignac, the estate now spans 30 hectares. Visitors to the region can find the winemaker and his wines every Tuesday at the Cotignac market.
