Interesting “Vin de France” that is the brainchild of the great Louis Barruol. Primarily made with Grenache that is a blending of several vintages, all vinified in concrete tanks. This one was bottled in 2019. Deep ruby/garnet/purple color. Aromas of ripe red berry fruit, dried purple flowers and dusty earth. Flavors of strawberries, red and black cherries, blackberries, red and black licorice and baking spices. Touch of black pepper spice on the medium-plus and slightly earthy/musty/peaty finish. Medium-plus acidity. Light and well integrated tannins. Pleasant texture and purity. Interesting concept that has led to an interesting wine. Excellent QPR. — 2 months ago
Fruity without being sweet. Elevated without being too much. — a month ago

Full bodied, lush and dark. Still pretty tannic, will have to let this open more but it has all the makings of a great wine — a month ago
100% Syrah. This is a very inexpensive Cotes but 2019 was a banner year. Velvety and full bodied. Notes of black cherry, graphite and cocoa powder. Medium tannins brings a decent finish. Nicely paired with a spicy grilled chicken. — a month ago
Dry but with stone fruit notes that imply sweetness. High acidity. And the fizz. Refreshing. Delicious. I want more! — 5 months ago

Fresh as a daisy still with juicy red to black fruits. Some garique, sticky licorice, leather and masking it’s 15% quite well. Medium complex and some years left to develop. — 2 days ago
