A pure, vibrant Grenache without artifice, born of a manual harvest and 12 months of aging in vats. The bright color with bluish highlights heralds the richness of the bouquet, which is clean and intense: blackcurrant jelly, cloves, and smoky notes. The freshness immediately makes its mark on the palate, which is enveloping and smooth, supported by finely sculpted tannins and a luscious fruitiness tinged with a languid note of dark chocolate on the finish. Voluptuous, it can be enjoyed now or kept in the cellar for a few years." (Le Guide Hachette 2026)

Note and opinion by Mr. GILLES D. Published on 11/21/2025
Discover this full-bodied, warm wine with plenty of character, which is also smooth and creamy, with lots of substance and flavors of pulpy, spicy red and black fruits on a subtle menthol base that boosts the powerful, lingering finish with a hint of cocoa. Maximum pleasure without breaking the bank, pairing well with spicy, distinctive dishes such as pulled pork smoked with BBQ sauce or lamb moussaka with Parmesan. Rating = 4.2.
