Allen Meadows:
A 1 ha blend of Groseilles, Baudes, Noirots and Gruenchers, which interestingly are all
bunched together, geographically speaking). Here the nose is ever-so-slightly riper and a bit more deeply pitched as well as
there are notes of red and blue fruit that is nuanced with hints of violet and stone. There is good richness and tension to the
medium-bodied flavors that possess good mid-palate density, all wrapped in an energetic and refined finish. Worth your
consideration. 2017+. 90-92 points
Jancis Robinson:
Very nicely balanced pure stuff. Quite a bargain! Made from a blend from four different climats (Baudes, Noirots, Groseilles and Gruenchers). Quite delicious. VGV 17.5 points
