(2015 vintage notes)

Seductive and generous, this cuvée has a ripe, intense nose of black fruits and spices. The 75% Grenache brings fruit and roundness to the powerful tannins of the Syrah. Finally, a touch of freshness harmonizes the whole.

Guide Hachette des vins

Rated wine (2017 guide) 1*Star (2015 vintage) (Very successful wine)

Rated estate Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by the guide)

About wine:

A favorable blend of Grenache (55%, with 45% Syrah) in this black cherry-colored cuvée, opening with pleasant notes of menthol, blackcurrant, and blackberry. An aromatic palette complemented by licorice on a round and silky palate, well structured by fine and elegant tannins. Good aging potential.

About the estate:

A 25-hectare estate located at an altitude of 400 meters, formerly owned by a chaplain and acquired in 2002 by Jacques Coipel. After traveling the world, Julien, the son, took over the winemaking in 2011.
