Critics Ratings
'Transparent garnet. There is some delicacy here and beautiful lift with sweetness and spice as well as a certain herbiness. I've always loved this really rather refined wine and if anything it seems underpriced. Unlike the Nature Côtes-du-Rhône, the tannins are well in the background and it's the fruit that speaks, and charms. Long.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Mar 2021)
'A fresh and unadorned style, with damson plum and cherry notes laced with subtle sanguine and mineral threads. The finish is restrained but sneaky long.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 90/100 (Sep 2021)
