“A delicate, silky feminine scent!”
“This Châteauneuf-du-Pape exudes aromas of wild strawberries and blood orange. Its fruit is full-bodied and well-structured. ” (Le Guide RVF 2026). The finesse that defines this estate yields a full-bodied, fresh, and silky cuvée, supported by supple, perfectly integrated tannins. Crisp aromas of candied fruit (crushed strawberry, blackberry, blackcurrant), licorice, and thyme, with a long, peppery, and velvety finish that is never heavy.

Review by Mr. PASCAL G. Posted on January 11, 2026
Typical of the appellation, but with a more restrained expression of power, much like Margaux compared to its Left Bank counterparts. The wine is pure, exceptionally smooth, and elegant. A wonderful discovery.
