‘Wonderful floral aroma with pure blueberry fruit and excellent clarity. Light tannins, pepper and herbs. Has the elegance and perfume of their Côte Rôtie, but at a softer volume. Lovely appetising acidity on the finish.’ – Richard Hemming MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Nov 2018)

‘Slightly bigger, richer and riper than the IGP Syrah, the 2017 Cotes du Rhone is medium to full-bodied, creamy and supple, with similar notes of crushed stone, a fumé-like character. But it also has blackberries, black olives and hints of espresso. It finishes silky and long. Jean-Paul Jamet points out that it comes from schist soils identical to Côte Rôtie but from younger vines. Like the IGP, it's destemmed and aged in old barrels.’ – Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, 91/100 (Oct 2018)

‘Brilliant violet. Smoke- and spice-accented dark berries and hints of licorice and olive on the lively nose. Subtly sweet blackberry and cherry flavors show very good energy and pick up a suave floral quality with aeration. Displays sharp delineation and strong, spicy lift on the persistent, gently tannic finish, which features lingering cherry pit and floral qualities.’ – Josh Reynolds, Vinous, 91/10 (Mar 2019)
