I was going through my La Chapelle section today and my eyes got stuck on this 1999 - bottle looked absolutely pristine and I decided it was a perfect age to drink. Cork was in great condition and the wine was powerful and youthful with no signs of oxidation. Could have kept the bottle for a few more years, but it was probably perfect today. All the complex leathery earthy goodness you expect from this wine was there. — a month ago
Great red fruit notes on both the nose and palate/retro nasal. — 16 days ago
Very bright and refreshing with citrus and saline notes. Paired so lovely with Cajun shrimp and French fries. — 24 days ago
So good. 22’s rounding into the form I had from barrel in June 23. Unreal cherry clarity on the nose and super floral. Pungent. Palate is so good. Opulent sweet fruit but all so chiseled. Juicy and just gorgeous clarity of fruit here. Sick inner mouth aromas. Such finesse and softness but structured softness. Unreal velvet texture. Let’s see what air does. Supple and sweeter with air. — a month ago
Very much enjoyed. Easy. Ready to drink. — 15 days ago
Nose is deep, charming and complex. In the mouth it enters with strength and bitterness which turns into herbal freshness towards the end.

Another solid vintage of this consistently good Provence Rose’. This vintage’s blend is Grenache (50%), Cinsault (30%) and Syrah (20%). Light pink in color with some lavender highlights. Fruit forward aromas of strawberry, watermelon, red flowers and lemon zest. Same fruity flavors with additional notes of peach, orange, and minerals. Touch of white pepper on the tart finish. Crisp, refreshing and clean with a faint hint of sweetness. Nice balance of acidity and alcohol (12.5%). Thanks for sharing, Chris B! — 3 months ago

Pretty salmon in color.
Fresh on the nose and medium in body with medium plus acidity.
Showing sweet raspberries, cherries, spices and light earth.
Dry on the palate with an elegant finish.
Rich and fresh. Nicely balanced with nice complexity. Fruit forward and elegant. Spicy and entertaining. Interesting stuff.
I liked it much better than the 2022 vintage.
A blend of 40% Mourvèdre, 30% Grenache and 30% Cinsault. Organic and Biodynamic.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
90 points.
