Rating from the Hachette Wine Guide: 3*** (Exceptional Wine) + Editor’s Choice
“This Therapius cuvée, which features Syrah as the main variety, boasts an elegant, dense, deep red color verging on black—a sign of an intense and complex bouquet that blends stewed red and black fruits, vanilla, roasted coffee, sweet spices, and violet. On the palate, it is a model of its kind: highly concentrated and full-bodied yet never heavy, with volume and length, round and perfectly refined tannins, just the right amount of oak, and intense fruitiness. Undoubtedly a wine for aging; it should be cellared for at least three to five years.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2013)

About the wine:

Sébastien Fraychet, the cellar master, had a winning touch in 2010, a landmark vintage for Vinsobraise: a “Coup de Coeur” award and a shower of stars for four selected wines. This Therapius cuvée, which features Syrah as the star, boasts an elegant, dense, deep red color verging on black—a harbinger of an intense and complex bouquet that blends stewed red and black fruits, vanilla, roasted coffee, sweet spices, and violet. On the palate, it is a model of its kind: highly concentrated and full-bodied yet never heavy, with volume and length, round and perfectly refined tannins, just the right amount of oak, and intense fruitiness. Undoubtedly a wine for aging; it should be cellared for at least three to five years.
