I love this stuff, what can I say. The easiest and sexiest birthday bottle I had, with bright fruits and a medium sized (relative to champagne) but elegant plume of bubbles. This is the stuff of dressed up dance parties at home, celebrating yourself, or date night. — 4 years ago
Discovery of the red Humagne grape variety 🇨🇭which produces medium bodied wines. Rustic and flowery. Medium ruby color, beautiful brilliant shine.
Nose mixing red fruit, gentian, notes of almonds, bacon, and terroir. In the mouth we discover specific, herbaceous and animal notes which support a discreet aging and aromas of tangy red fruits. Autumn wine that will accompany game birds and fatty butter-based sauces

Wonderful Pinot gris, tropical fruit, not too acidic, well balanced — 7 years ago
In the glass, the Virevolte Haut-Médoc unfurls like a velvet curtain parting on an opera at dusk. Its robe is a brooding garnet—deep, moody, suggestive of candlelit chiaroscuro and philosophical malaise. The bouquet is an olfactory aria: first, a plume of graphite and cigar box, as though the wine spent its formative years in the library of a Parisian diplomat. These give way to whispers of stewed blackcurrant, truffle ash, and petrichor on polished leather, evoking an autumnal horseback ride through the forgotten paths of Gascony.
On the palate, the wine does not so much speak as pronounce. The structure is austere yet self-assured, with tannins that march in double-breasted formation. Merlot offers a baritone plushness, while Cabernet Sauvignon contributes a tensile, almost Stoic verticality. Subtle mineral tension runs like a minor key through the mid-palate—an ode, perhaps, to the gravelly terroir that birthed it.
The finish is prolonged and philosophical—less an end than a Socratic ellipsis. One is left pondering not only the provenance of the wine but the transience of joy itself. — a year ago

$12.99? Are you kidding? This is a good rose for twice that. Great acidity, a little tartness, strawberry. Cab and cab franc. — 2 months ago
