Notes

A wine of tremendous expression and instant impact. An explosion of complex fruit immediately floods the senses. Strapping, full bodied but the most stunningly detailed fruit to go with the structure – this is sheer autumnal joy. Tannic but not aggressive, the structure binds the complex fruits together – briar and bramble with a redder tinge of damson and Victoria plum, with liquorice spice providing background. Stunning, one of the best examples Jean-Michel has made. An unoaked blend of 70% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 15% Mourvedre from rocky, late-ripening parcels high up in the Dentelles de Montmirail.

Notes

Deep, brilliant ruby color. Sharply focused, spice-tinged black raspberry, cherry, potpourri and garrigue scents pick up a smoky mineral nuance with air. This offers concentrated raspberry, kirsch, succulent herb and floral pastille flavors, lifted by a suggestion of white pepper. Fine-grained tannins come in slowly and add shape and grip to a strikingly long, floral-driven finish, showing firm tension and final cut. Raised in concrete and stainless steel tanks.
