Loved this. My #1 pick in recent blind tasting. Great for price point, bought a case. — 2 years ago
80% Marsanne and 20% Roussanne from vineyards in the small, not widely known Saint-Péray appellation south of Cornas and across the River from Valence. Vines are about 20 years old, rooted in decomposed granite and clay soil. Fermented and aged in oak barrels for 11 months. Fragrant, complex nose with aromas of pear skin, tropical fruit, citrus (tangerine) and minerals. Medium-bodied, quite opulent, but also fresh and mineral. Some citrus flavors — 3 years ago
Medium bodied smooth. Great drinker — 7 months ago
The 2011, absurdly good, the structure was woven and perfect, and the combination of red fruit and richness and earthiness was absolutely heaven.  — 8 months ago
Well, what an overachiever this wine is! Mayne Lalande, a little known chateau in Listrac-Médoc, and a bottle which I picked up for a humble price at auction around a year ago. It’s fresh, sappy, delicious and positively refreshing at 12% abv. I wish I had more of this. A joyous rendition of old left-bank Bordeaux. — 7 months ago
Отличный Представитель французского вкуса. В меру кислотный, в меру танинный и, главное, легкое вино для изысканного обеда. Например как дополнение к мясу по-бургундски. — 3 years ago

Dark ruby/ brick in color with a wide reddish/ brick rim.
Fruity on the nose, and medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing over ripen fruits, cedar, vanilla, espresso, cola, light herbs, earth, chocolates, tobacco and spices.
This is a very tasty Merlot from Saint Emilion. Rich and extracted. Fruit forward and elegant. Complex and interesting.
This 23 year old is much fruitier than I expected it to be. I absolutely loved the nose on this, and kept going back for more.
Good by itself or with food. A great experience to taste these kind of old wines.
A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. Aged in (50% new) French Oak barrels for 16 months.
14% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
