Gault & Millau

“Remarkable substance, firm tannins, noticeable but well-integrated oak, a strong expression of terroir, and great potential. ” (The Bettane & Desseauve Guide to French Wines 2014). A wine from old vines with delicate aromas, featuring subtle notes of wild berries, cigar, and mocha. The Tannat contributes a refined and intelligent structure on the palate, with a very clean finish. Orders of 6 bottles of this wine shipped within France will be delivered in a wooden case.

Review by Mr. DIDIER P. Published on January 19, 2019

Nose: spices, orange, quince. Palate: ripe, elegant, and velvety tannins. Black fruits and hints of mocha (a striking impression!) Conclusion: a fresh and harmonious palate for a superb, refined winter wine that pairs well with a wide variety of dishes—not just stews and hot pots!
