winemaker's notes:

The Les Galuches vineyard lies near the river on sandy-gravel soil made up of old alluvial deposits. This terroir warms very early, so the wine attains a sweet and lush texture.

alcohol by volume: 13.0%
critical acclaim:

"Very fresh and racy, displaying a great core of black cherry, cherry pit, bitter orange and sweet tobacco, all held together by lots of chalky minerality. A nice briar twinge completes the finish. Drink now through 2014. 500 cases imported. —J.M."

rating (2/2/2011):
This was unique and interesting. From my perspective, very earthy on the nose and to start in the mouth. But almost too much until you finally get to the fruit, however this softened over time as the bottle was open.
