Herbaceous and robust dark fruit when opened and developed over time. Was very good with duck.

Rich with slight herbal notes. Nice acid and a hint of dusty tannin. It was singing after an hour.

Beautiful unraveling. Blooms after air. And stoically holds her head high the second day in the bottle with a vision of the future. Jeanne d'Arc style. She wore armor made of iron protecting a heart that roared like a lion deep inside. Minerality that leaves you nostalgic. This will age beautifully.

Very expressive and well knit Franc - lovely middle fruit and persistent length! Blew the rougeard off the table!

Dense and meaty, yet traditional, with violets and plum and a subtle pencil lead aroma. I hear this producer makes Chardonnay?

2011 Vintage. Nose notes of cherries, earthy, hints of coffee. Palette notes of licorice, coffee, a bit of spice in the back end.
