“The 2016 Séguret Grande Réserve is a wine that everyone agrees on and that checks all my boxes. A fabulous bouquet of blueberries, kirsch, ground pepper, violets, and crushed rock gives way to a voluptuous and expansive Rhône wine that reveals full-bodied richness, a lush texture, a sweeping depth on the mid-palate, and soft tannins. It’s a sensational Séguret that will instantly transport you to those magnificent limestone hillsides of southern France.” (Jeb Dunnuck)

Wine rated 90–92+/100 (Outstanding wine)

Estate rated "Recommended" (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker—The Wine Advocate)

About the wine:

The 2016 Grande Réserve sample I tasted in August seemed lush and rich during my visit that month. The tannins are softer than usual, and the fruit flavors unfold into notes of blueberries and licorice, with a hint of warmth on the finish.
