Robert Parker

"The 2010 Côtes-du-Rhône offers an intriguing profile with lovely notes of flowers, mint, and lavender, which give way to hints of strawberry, pepper, and chili upon aeration. This medium-bodied 2010 has great fruit, remarkable acidity, and a flawless finish; everything suggests it will drink well over the next 4 to 5 years. It’s a safe bet, to be enjoyed now through 2017.” (Wine Advocate 2013 – Robert Parker)

Guide Hachette des vins

Wine noted (guide 2013) 1*Star (Very successful wine)

Rated estate (2013 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the wine:

At the helm of the estate since 2008, a couple from Champagne was captivated by this clay-limestone terroir, covered in large pebbles and swept by the mistral, located in one of Provence’s oldest villages. Robert and Martine Janer make their debut in the Guide with this 2010 vintage, which is round, smooth, and well-structured, with lingering notes of stewed fruit and spices. Best enjoyed within the next two years with roasted poultry or, why not, a strawberry salad seasoned with a touch of pepper.
