5 ha, 100% Grenache from Bédarrides, 45 year old vines grown on large pebbles and sandy red clay. Lively, fresh and perfumed red berry fruit, all very open and transparent. Well integrated spicy oak and a touch of liquorice. The palate is fairly full-bodied and rounded with creamy fruit, but is balanced with good tannic crunch, lovely acidity and vibrancy. Medium length. One of the best Croix de Bois yet. Drink 2016-2013. 91-93 points.
