Rating: RVF 16.5/20
The initial nose of this beautiful Côte-Rôtie is closed. Then, after aeration, aromas of black fruit and spices emerge. The wine is silky on the palate, elegant and charming. The finish is long and shows that the wine still has many good years ahead of it. A very promising future!

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."
