A chateau that's been on the rise I'm told. Terroir is sand and gravel with clay substrata. Very fragrant, something pleasingly green and floral about the flavor profile, plenty of acid, fruit is red and blue with some spice. Great achievement in '04 and drinking great! — 9 years ago
Ripe red fruit, forest floor and that kind of muddy, chocolatey thing you get with Bordeaux sometimes, a bit of Bret as well. Organic/bio dynamic. Vineyard is circled by vines whose only duty is to protect the inner vines from surrounding vineyards who use pesticides. #asp — 11 years ago
Proof that terroir can exist without the influence of soil. Pun intended. — 12 years ago
A really interesting wine, seems fortified on the nose but not so much when you taste it. A little salt and lots of complexity and length. Also a really nice colour. — 9 years ago
One of my favorite dry hopped sours. — 10 years ago
It has notes of tart fruit and you can really get the mineral taste. This wine was really good with shellfish! — 11 years ago
The nose is so feminine and perfumed with dark fruits, savory spices, and earth. Fuller bodied and structured with gripping tannins. Vineyard has southern orientation=warmer=more massive expression of Carignan — 10 years ago
Stoney, delicate candied lemon nose. Back of the mouth lemon rinds, pebble/stone minerals and a hint of leaf before the finish. Nerve and poise but with a rounded resolution. — 10 years ago
Strong alcohol on the nose also currants. Cherries and blackberries, a bit of pepper and spice. Lighter and fruitier. — 11 years ago
Very smooth, good mix of flavors — 11 years ago
One of the 2-3 top wines of the trip! — 11 years ago

Nice amount of oakiness without being overly done
Fun with sweet potato
