"Pretty Roussilon"
"Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre for this wine that smells of garrigue and orchards. The beautiful fullness on the palate tends towards fruit, with mineral and controlled tannins. The wine is just right and good, offering subtle notes of Mourvèdre leather on the finish. A simple vinification that reveals the terroir of Les Aspres. (La Revue du Vin de France - June-July 2020)

A little disappointed with this vintage compared to the previous one in 2017. It needs to be opened well in advance.

Note and opinion by Mr. ANTOINE M. Published on March 25, 2020
A strong, unpleasant animal odor upon opening (reduction). Decanting helped to mitigate the phenomenon without completely eliminating it. I will wait for the next bottles.

A perfectly structured wine that is very balanced and drinkable. Fruity without too much alcohol. Very satisfied.
