Weird at first -some residual volatil compounds, but then settled very nicely. Elegant, nice structure. Lovely overall — 6 years ago
Acidity smoothed out with breathing. Strong plum. Made in steel instead of oak. — 7 years ago
Nose has smokey dry earth, dry lavender, old licorice, dried black cherry, ripe black currant, dried blackberry and (light) dried oak.
Palate has silky dried blackberry, ripe plum, black currant jam, (light) dark chocolate, dried blueberry and light tannins. Mouth coating texture. Future bottles should be 2023+
50% Grenache & 50% Mourvédre
Paired with a bottom round beef roast, slow cooked 8+ hours with autumn root vegetables and the au jus from the roast, thickened with a little of my own tomato paste, delicious. — 7 years ago


Com un ranci amb menys potència i més dolçor. Vin de voile , vinificat com un vin jaune. Perfecte per un peyral i una fourme al Belvedère. — 9 years ago

Picking up a juiced pear on the nose today, but otherwise prior notes still apply:
Nose has ripe yellow apple, lightly oxidized green apple peel, baked phyllo dough, partially aromatic white flowers and damp rocks. I always get a natural wine vibe here, without the vinegar-like profile, but it seems alive!
Palate has baked green and yellow apple pastry, crisp acidity yet dense, candle wax begins on the finish and ends with dry granite. Great balance, very lengthy finish, clean and not cumbersome, superb vintage, long life ahead. We love you Jean-Jacques. — 7 years ago
A lovely 2012 burgundy...beautiful with imported European cheese! — 9 years ago
Slight horse on the nose to begin with, with a shift towards bright fruit, and anise. Great length with well integrated tanins, low acidity and very mellow finish. Good stuff. — 10 years ago
Fantastic Rhone Valley wine. Notes of dark jammy plum, cedar and clove spice on the nose, with strawberry-rubarb, raspberry sorbet, pomegranate, and light minerally feel, medium plus body, high acidity, and a nice and smooth finish. Great with food, and with an hour decant, by itself. — 11 years ago
On border of Beaujalois. Clean, pure, green apple, pear, soft, supple, low acid palette but good mineral. — 11 years ago
#fws2013 floral and long, very good — 12 years ago
Bright yellow. Clear. A bit closed on the nose, ripe apples, peach, honey, oak. Dried fruits, orange on palette. Acid. Tangy or spicy. Silky, medium finish. Tasted in May 2021 at BigMacs&Burgundy book event by Alliance Francaise. — 5 years ago
Nice complex sauvignon expressing tertiary aromas still keeping varietals.
Balanced mouthful and good acidity. Recommended — 6 years ago
Pale color. Lemon zest nose. Meyer lemon, lemon cream, and dusty minerality. This is a good wine. — 8 years ago
