Well balanced wine, deep and rich taste — 6 months ago
A solid budget “Beauj”. This actually tastes like terroir and you can tell the winemaker is trying to not get too involved in the cellar unlike last nights moulin a vent. A lightness and tartness that is quite fun raspberry notes of fruit and a lot of acidity lead to a good drinking wine. Perhaps cherry notes in the middle? The finish isn’t huge but it does linger after swallowing. Actually the nose is quite pretty. Lilac notes? A flower. Highly recommended. The light tartness on the finish might a little much for some people. Maybe air will mellow it. Will buy again.
Edit: after 20 or 30 min of air the tart end integrates and the wine smoothed even more out. This probably deserves a higher rating than 9. Highly recommended — 3 years ago

This is a nice and easy drinking Grenache from Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
Showing red fruits with light wood, spices, coffee, earth, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf, light vegetables and peppercorn.
Spicy finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
Showing nice complexity with a soft mouthfeel. Nicely balanced and elegant.
Still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
I had this vintage a year ago at the winery, and it was drinking so much better then.
Good by itself and better with food.
A blend of 80% Grenache, 10% Syrah and 10% Mourvedre. Aged in (20% new) large French oak barrels.
15.5% alcohol by volume.
90 points.

Nice young CDP, bright and peppery. Should be even nicer with age. — 2 months ago
Hubert Lignier's Clos de la Roche 2001 is an elegant beast—powerful in structure, layered and unfolding progressively, with fleshy texture, dark fruit, and black pepper intertwining. It's a very 'un-Roche' Roche. I've had AR's Roche and Dujac's Roche before, but neither had this kind of sheer power.
The 2014 DRC Richebourg exceeded expectations. I wasn't a big fan of the 2014 vintage before—it's a weaker year after all. But this one only started to open up after three hours of decanting, from 5 PM to 8 PM. I poured it three times over the evening, and each glass showed a different evolution:
· First glass: hawthorn and sour plum soup.
· Second glass: elegant rose perfume began to emerge, along with white pepper spice.
· Third glass: fully opened—red fruit, floral notes, and licorice intertwined, with a slender, lean, elegant frame—charming and refined, never cloying.
What a joyful evening. Both bottles were absolutely delightful! — 3 months ago

From the Cote’ Chalonnaise. Murky garnet color with a ruby core. Aromas of cooked red fruit, dried flowers, smoke and wet soil. Flavors of ripe cherries and strawberries, mushrooms, sweet baking spices (especially cloves) and a bit of minerality. Long and very savory finish. Silky tannins, mouth coating texture and bright acidity. 13% ABV. Delicate and satiny. Excellent quality for the price. — 19 days ago
