Nice young CDP, bright and peppery. Should be even nicer with age. — 2 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.

White Rhone. Nose: pear, lemon. Taste: lemon, honey. Very interesting white and I wasn’t aware there were white chateauneuf-du-pape. — 9 months ago
Solid nose of dark red fruits. Tannic yet silky and long finish. This is an excellent old-world merlot/cabernet blend with finesse. It can stand on its own, or be enjoyed with food as it is a little on the acidic side. — 5 years ago
