#15 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2013
Purple color with violet hues. Highly colorful nose with fragrances of Garrigue and pit fruits. Initially silky then develops on to well balanced tannins. The finale offers a superb aromatic persistence.

Wine Spectator
Offers a racy feel, with terrific cut to the damson plum, red currant, bitter cherry and raspberry notes, lined with tangy iron, blood orange and savory accents. The long finish is very precise. Best from 2015 through 2027.
I have created a range of wines exclusively made from the very best grapes that the Rhône Valley has to offer, adapted to a wide diversity of gastronomic styles. Day after day I took inspiration from meeting exceptional wine producers in the heart of the Rhone vineyards, much in the manner one would collect treasures acquired during the course of a long voyage, this range reflects the passion of the producers met on my travels.
Selected with great care and blended according to the most stringent winemaking traditions, they are then entrusted to the family-owned wine cellars created in 1987 for vinification and maturation.
These wines have been created to accompany your gourmet experiences, a delightful tasting experience, authentic wines offering true conviviality and instant enjoyment. Discover the gourmet savour of a Côtes du Rhône, the full-body of a Chateauneuf du Pape, the elegance of a Crozes Hermitage, or the complexity of a Côte Rôtie.
