Loved this wine. It was aromatic when opened and got better as it breathed. Lush and a little dry. Subtle notes of fruit and forest. Just super good. I would love to get more!! — 3 months ago
Bright cherry and licorice on the nose, with layers of leather and earthy terroir on the palate. Dry, structured, yet fresh — 9 months ago
算是较简单的一款小酒,没啥复杂度,简单的水果味还可以,就是感觉偏贵了 — 2 years ago
Blend of Grenache dominated wine with Syrah and Mourvèdre added in the blend, Ruby with aromas of red fruits, floral and spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and plum with licorice, black pepper, herbs and tobacco notes. Long finish, fine tannins ending with fruit, cacao and earthy spice. Pair with beef or game meats, a big wine just starting to drink well. — 3 years ago
Another fabulously pure wine in this eclectic range of southern Rhône experimental cuvées from Xavier Vignon, this time a 100% Mourvèdre from old vines around Vinsobres, from the 2015 vintage.
The nose is large and herbaceous with a great juxtaposition of floral qualities with waves of deep, generous, dark fruit. There’s also spice, camphor, and vanilla best sniffed from a large glass.
The wine is full bodied on the palate, but with great purity and very supple tannins. The finish finds a sweet note and carries on with good length.
Impressive stuff for a Vin de France priced at around £15-20. This is so youthful even now with seven years of age, so I’d love to try it again in years to come. — 4 years ago
Excellent entry-level wine from revered Hermitage producer Jean-Louis Chave’s negociant line, a blend of Grenache and Syrah from plots in Vinsobres, Visan, Buisson, and Estargues in the Southern Rhône. Aromas of
dark fruit, game and spice. Integrated oak. Smooth and delicious 🤤 — 6 years ago

This is their partnership wine from Louis Barruol Château de Rouanne. Raspberry, violets, rounded, very nicely integrated tannins already, very tasty GSM wine. — 2 years ago
2016 vintage. Domaine Vallot, Vinsobres. Old vine blend of Syrah and Grenache at 300-350 meters altitude in front of the Mont Ventoux. Biodynamically farmed. This estate was consulted by the late Christian Prud'homme. Intense perfume of black cherry jam and dried herbs. Powerful with layers of jammy fruit, balanced by fresh acidity. Long finish. Impressive. — 5 years ago
Notes from memory after many months - just remember this was beautifully integrated and singing after 14 years. I’m a huge fan of this Rhône Négociant and producer; consistently excellent. #vinsobres — 8 months ago
Southern blend of Grenache (55%) and Syrah (45%). Dark ruby/purple color. Aromas of red and dark berry fruit, smoked fresh herbs and forest floor. Flavors of red and black cherries and plums, mocha, black licorice, vanilla and iron. Long and very earthy finish with a bit of black pepper. Full bodied and reasonably well balanced. Very dry with well integrated tannins. Solid value. — 8 months ago
