Low yields in Northern Rhône 2013, but the quality of the fruit is prevalent here. Structured and well-integrated fine grained tannins at the five year mark. The nose explodes out of the glass with finesse and doused complexities. Definitive Syrah nuances of black raspberries, black plums, black olives, fresh cut violets, cracked black pepper, Indian spices, grilled and smoked meats, and stone dust. Light weight but packs a continuous release of flavors. Nose and palate changes from fruit to floral to spicy to meaty. As you move to different areas and rooms the wine changes. The more air it gets, the more meat starts hanging out. Complex indeed for a $20 bottle. Great showing. — 6 years ago

Mellow on the nose and likewise on the tongue. Rounded with hints of crisp red apple and just the right amount of dryness. I don't know that it deserves to be opened in a park square during a fire alarm. — 8 years ago
That's special! Coming from "les terres blanches" terroir the wine possess minerality, richness and complexity. — 8 years ago

I am typically not the biggest fan of Sancerres. They usually have a grassy not to them that just doesn't strike me. This example did not have that tasting note at all thankfully. Straw yellow in color with a hint of green. Lots of fruit and flowers on the nose. Rich palate for this grape. Lovely minerality that gives it a wonderful finish. — 7 years ago

Great price point. Very light — 4 years ago
This wine is rather understated for a 2015 - some red berry fruit, soft Garrigue hints on the nose and a little jammy of the Palate but it needs more acidity to pop and showcase the elegant fruit one expects in 2015. A bit disappointing for this producer in this vintage — 5 years ago
Velvety smooth...aromas of dark berry fruit...lovely with Italian sausages....roasted lemon rosemary potatoes and salad. — 8 years ago
Very aromatic, with dried cranberries and spices. And an amazing finish that goes on and on. — 9 years ago

Mooie frisse geur, prachtige zachte dronk, mooie zuren en lichte tannines. Na paar uur open op fles het lekkerst. Magnum heeft de wijn prima laten ouderen. — 6 months ago
