Note: Robert Parker 90/100, Gault Millau 16/20
“ A beautiful, elegant nose of sweet, fresh fruit, including redcurrant, blueberry, wild strawberry, and raspberry. On the palate, it is fresh, dense, and powerful, with well-integrated tannins… ” (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2011 - Gault Millau) “Like previous vintages, this cuvée is a sure bet!” (Robert Parker - June 2011). Vintage after vintage, this consistently successful cuvée ranks among the region’s best value-for-money wines!

Actually, there's not much to say about it... either it wasn't the right time, or it really lacks character. Nothing bad. Nothing exciting.

A full-bodied, even rich wine. Best served well chilled. It’s not for everyone.

Sunny, with a hint of woodiness and a long finish. Well done!

Review by Mr. SAID A. Published on November 18, 2012
A powerful, aromatic wine with impressive body and tannins, similar to the best wines from the Rhône Valley. I really enjoyed it and am thrilled to have a six-pack! However, it’s essential to let it breathe for an hour or two before serving.
