88/100
Gilbert & Gaillard
"Deep color, beginning to evolve. Forest nose (humus, leather, mushrooms) with a background of berries. Balanced, full-bodied, elegant on the palate, successfully emphasizing spicy, fruity aromas. The palate remains lively and fresh. A style that is completely masterful." (Le Guide des Vins 2017 - Gilbert & Gaillard)

Rated estate (2017 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
We are delighted to have lent a helping hand to this property, which was relatively unknown until recently but which, since 2011, has shown a consistency of style that places it at the forefront of the appellation. In this southern district, Grenache grapes take on the finesse of Pinot or Cinsault, with a refined texture that will delight connoisseurs accustomed to fine Burgundy wines. The aging process has improved even further this year.
