2008 - dark gold when opened, and muted. Required a good hour to blossom. but maybe one of the most evolved bottle I had. — 11 years ago

I jad given up after the 2004, but will revisit, you must know I used to like them so much I even went there to visit...fyi I am not the only person who thinks they had problems starting around 2004. I will trust you that things have changed..or we maybe disagree on their wines a bit ?

This is an organic wine made through an all natural process. The winer is part of a new movement in France. The wine had a beautiful deep plummy flavor and sift finish. It was fizzy for a good part if the dinner. There were fruity tones but a nice dry finish. No harsh tannins but tasted heavier than a merlot. Very nice surprise. — 11 years ago
