Very deep crimson. Glorious, almost blousy, Margaux nose ranging from baked apple to dates, raisins and brown sugar, finishing with a bit of campfire smoke. Full bodied, warm and harmonious on the palate. The fruit tastes fresher than the nose foretold, with overripe melon, plums and chokecherry flavours. Tannins are still a bit high; try it in 2020 with a rib steak rubbed with Montreal steak spice.
When power meets elegance. Full body with soft and silky texture with lifted notes of wild strawberries and raspberries and a subtle touch of garrigues and truffle on the long finish. The talented Stéphane Vedeau crafted a masterpiece. Grenache at its very finest.
Medium body with crunchy tannins and fresh acid. Earthy with the typical notes of raspberries, pencil shaving and a pleasing herbal touch that we associated with delicious Cabernet Franc in the Loire Valley. Slightly rustic but irresistible. Made for food.
Deep ruby in colour. Cedary, ripe plum bouquet with oak spice and a light floral grace note. Medium body, dry, bright, gently savoury flavours of ripe plum, cherry and milk chocolate. Well-balanced, nicely structured and quite forward with ripe tannins. Drinking well now but will improve with couple of years’ cellaring. 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot.
Medium-deep garnet. Faint nose of oak, cassis and dust. Medium body with high tannins blanketing flavours of cassis and blackberry. Could use another year or two to mellow the tannins.
A serviceable blend of 50% White Grenache, 30% Roussanne and 20% Clairette. Shining white gold colour. Minerally, lemony nose with a note of white blossoms. Medium to full body. Dry, elegant; grapefruit and pear flavours. Great value.
Clear medium-deep plum red. In your face nose of Gamay grape, also raspberry. Light body with high acidity and fresh grapey fruit. At its best now.
