Note: Robert Parker 90-91+/100
“The 2008 vintage offered great vibrancy, but this 2010 surpasses it, and with its typical schist-driven expression of stone and smoke, it also surpasses the 2007…” (Robert Parker - June 2011). With beautiful aromas of red and black fruits, a touch of minerality, and rich body, Constance remains, vintage after vintage, consistently excellent and ranks among the region’s best value-for-money wines!

A fruit-forward, delicious wine that offers remarkable value for the price. It may not be the epitome of finesse, but it’s a real treat.

You can taste the sun-ripened, sugar-sweetened grapes. Exceptional value for the price.

A fine wine that is rarely mentioned, even though it is full-bodied and smooth on the palate and boasts an elegant, brilliant color.

Review by Mr. CHRISTOPHE B. Published on 12/05/2012

A wine that leaves no one indifferent: 15% ABV! The alcohol is not overly pronounced, and I enjoyed this warm, full-bodied wine that’s still quite refined. A lovely, sun-kissed wine—though best suited for those who appreciate a bit of punch!
