Robert Parker

One of the finest wines is undoubtedly this 2015 Rasteau La Fontaine, certainly one of the jewels of the vintage. It could even surpass the sensational 2010. Notes of charcoal, blackberries, blackcurrants, and a beautiful minerality are concentrated in a full-bodied, ripe, elegant, and intoxicating palate, full of Provençal character. Count me in as a fan; it will drink well for over ten years." (Wine Advocate 2016 - Robert Parker)
