This wine is made with 100% organically grown grapes from the family’s vineyards.

Spice, Christmas cake, plum, garrigue and smoke nose. Attractive, juicy fruit with a firm sappy length…supple, vigorous wine with well-tamed tannins.

"Wine of the week". Wonderfully vigorous and concentrated… admirably appetizing and beautifully balanced with notes of liquorice, brambles and tar. Quite a package considering the price.

A deep, bright hue with some rather attractive Rhônish peppery reduction to nose and palate. (...) Animated and expressive, it’s very beguiling.
