Rating: Robert Parker 88/100
"With ripe red fruit flavors, this lovely blend of 92% Syrah and 8% Viognier offers classic Northern Rhône notes of violet, plum, and meaty nuances in a fresh, elegant, and supple profile. It showcases the Syrah well and remains very affordable." (Wine Advocate Dec. 2013 - Robert Parker). A fruity, indulgent and harmonious wine...

Eye
Bright ruby color with fairly intense purple highlights
Nose
Fruity, rich, and harmonious, with aromas of blackcurrant and blueberry mingled with hints of spice.
Mouth
Fresh attack, the wine is lively and mineral, with mellow, rounded tannins. The roundness and finesse of Viognier allow for the creation of a wine that is more powerful and indulgent than a simple Syrah wine.

Rated estate (2014 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking and, as such, all the estates listed in it, even those without stars, represent, in our opinion, the excellence of French production.)
About the estate:
This fledgling wine merchant was born out of a partnership between the Perrin family (of Château de Beaucastel in Châteauneuf-du-Pape) and Nicolas Jaboulet (former director of the family business Paul Jaboulet et Fils). Two big names from the south and north of the valley, who are releasing a small collection of northern wines. The wines are selected from the barrel before malolactic fermentation at the winegrowers' premises, then matured at Perrin, near Orange. This is followed by blending. The style of the whites is precise, dry and straightforward, of a good intermediate level. To date, we prefer the brightness and density of the reds."
