Very smooth and flavorful. More bitter than sweet but well balanced. Easy to drink alone or with a meal. Paired well with steak and grilled chicken. — 5 years ago

Give this two hours air in the decanter. And be surprised with a very smooth wine, nice structure, redfruits. Unbeatable p/q. Gives pleasure. Awesome wine for everyday. — 9 years ago
After the Chiroubles, I taste this second Cuvée from the Domaine; confirming the admirable know-how of these winegrowers who love a job well done. Biodynamic Fleurie which does justice to the appellation: nose of red fruits and cherries accompanied by rocky floral nuances and something that resembles peppermint. (Vintage effect?). The palate confirms this generosity, with a carbonic maceration that suits the Gamay grape so well, without being prominent here. The finish unfolds on roasted and typical sour cherry notes. It’s very greedy. Immediate pleasure at a very affordable price.
Après le Chiroubles, je goûte cette deuxième cuvée du Domaine; confirmant l’admirable savoir faire de ces vignerons amoureux du travail bien fait. Fleurie biodynamique qui fait honneur à l’appellation: nez sur les fruits rouges et griottes accompagné de roches nuances florales et quelque chose qui ressemblerait à la menthe poivrée. (Effet millésime?). La bouche confirme cette générosité, avec une macération carbonique qui sied si bien au cépage gamay, sans pour autant être proéminente ici. La finale se déploie sur des notes torréfiées et griottes typique. C’est très gourmand. plaisir immédiat à prix très abordable. — 4 years ago

This one is drinking exceptionally well right now — 7 years ago
It's time for my #FridayCabernetfix. This week it's a fabulously aged Bordeaux from a great vintage.
Beautiful color of dark brown with a wide brick/ orange rim.
Musty nose with blueberries, black currants, light oak, forest floor, wet leaves, earth, graphite, musty cave, white pepper and tobacco.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs. Soft and elegant.
Dry on the palate with blueberries, plums, currants, oak, smoke, earth, tobacco leaf, spices, graphite, bitter herbs, black tea and black pepper.
Nice length on the finish with soft tannins and tangy pomegranates.
This is a great 29 year old Cabernet Sauvignon based red blend from Bordeaux. Drinking very nicely now, with nice earthy notes, but also enough fruits to balance it out.
Very complex and good pretty much right out of the bottle, and doesn't need decanting.
Probably peaking now. Showing enough fruits with nice balance, but I suggest to drink it within a year or two.
Good by itself or with food. I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.
A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot.
12.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.

Reallly nice bourgueil. Does not have the green pepper from cab franc. Pleasant chalkiness to the medium body. Good, lively dark fruit. Had in paris. Suggested by cave daron. Bio. — 8 years ago
