Rating: Bettane & Desseauve 15.5/20
“A rich bouquet of bay leaf, with the alcohol’s richness balanced by surprising acidity, and plenty of character harmonized by skillful aging. ” (The Bettane & Desseauve Guide to French Wines 2013). A naturally concentrated wine, yet without excess, and highly aromatic. The silky tannins offer immediate pleasure!

A déguster sur une terrine de campagne et quelques cerises burlat au vinaigre, un jambonneau à l’ancienne, un beau rôti de bœuf et sa poêlée de champignon des bois, un rôti de veau fermier, un vrai poulet « grand-mère », un gigot d'agneau...<br/>

About the estate:
Hervé Bizeul, a winemaker and maverick writer, has little left to prove, as his estate ranks among the elite of the Roussillon region. That doesn’t stop him from constantly challenging himself, exploring new avenues, innovating, thinking outside the box, and creating new vintages. A prime example is his Pinot Noir, which came out of nowhere and bravely withstands the harsh sun and the Tramontane winds of the Agly Valley. Here, each cuvée displays a personality all its own, sometimes uncompromising, just like its winemaker. From no fewer than seven different terroirs emerges a serious and diverse interpretation of Roussillon. A model of its kind.
