"Troisième Favorite Fabien Cardetti, who has firmly established himself asone of the appellation's rising stars. This cuvée, made from Négrette (60%), Syrah, and Cabernet Franc, joins its 2011 'big sister' on the list of top wines. A wine that aims for simple, immediate pleasure and fully achieves its goal: a lovely, very attractive garnet color; a lively, distinctive nose of black fruits, licorice, violet, and spices; a palate that is supple, smooth, and fresh all at once, aromatic and indulgent.

Review by Mr. RAPHAEL L. Posted on April 23, 2018
A good wine, not overly concentrated, very floral, but lacking that certain something to compete with the entry-level wines from the area’s top winemakers.

I tried it last week with roast beef. It’s a nice wine—light and fruity on the palate.
