"Syrah and Grenache in equal proportions, with long maceration and partial barrel aging: a winning combination. The opaque color heralds an intense nose of macerated fruit, undergrowth, and truffle, underscored by oak. The barrel is discreet on the palate, bringing its patina, roundness, and aromatic nuances to a fleshy, long finish that is as powerful as it is elegant. Let's hear from the jury: "superb balance," "remarkable wine," "very fine cuvée," "keep it up!" That says it all."(Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2020)

About wine:

The barrel is discreet on the palate, adding its patina, roundness, and aromatic nuances to a fleshy, long finish that is as powerful as it is elegant.

About the estate:

The former has been organic for 25 hectares since 2018, while the latter has been organic for 15 hectares since 2010. The range includes Côtes-du-Rhône, Villages, Cairanne, and IGP Principauté d'Orange wines.

Review and opinion by Mr. VALENTIN D. Published on January 8, 2020
A very animalistic wine, but a pleasant surprise nonetheless. Would benefit from being kept a little longer!
