“Grenache, the dominant grape variety, imparts a delicate cherry-red color that lends this cuvée an air of freshness and youth. The nose surprises with its complexity: Burlat cherry, violet, and citrus zest. Taut and well-balanced between softness and tannins, the palate emphasizes freshness and finesse over power, rounded off by a lingering, lively fruity note on the finish.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2018)

Review by Mr. JEAN BAPTISTE D. Published on April 27, 2019
I was very disappointed with this wine; it was very closed despite being decanted for a long time.

Review by Mr. ANTOINE D. Published on January 15, 2019
Despite a rather alcoholic nose, the wine reveals quite fruity aromas on the palate with a very crisp finish. Decant for at least an hour. A wonderful discovery; a promising winery.

Review by Mr. BERNARD L. Published on September 28, 2018
The bitterness of this wine is quite off-putting. Perhaps it needs time to develop... And even after a few months in the cellar, it remains an unpleasant wine; its harsh alcohol notes and very subdued aroma make it a disappointment.

Review by Mr. PIERRE K. Published on July 26, 2018
The nose offers fresh cherry with a hint of violet, complemented by a very light touch of gray pepper. A floral note also emerges from the glass. The attack is lively and pleasant; cherry comes through immediately, followed by macerated black fruit and a hint of spice. The finish is clean and short, with tannins that are still a bit harsh. A wine with a lovely balance that emphasizes elegance and (moderate) freshness, making us forget the 14.5% alcohol content.

Review by Mr. PATRICK D. Posted on March 4, 2018
We've tasted a much better Cote du Roussillon. I went by the positive reviews but was disappointed in the end.

Be sure to let this wine breathe for a good hour beforehand... otherwise, it’s pure bliss
