Top-of-the-range red wine ideal for aging, with a northern profile, a silky structure made from 90% of the estate’s finest plot of Syrah, over 40 years old.
It is a wine reminiscent of the balance of the more northern Rhône Valley, sappy, airy, deep and with a great silky texture, which can be kept in-between 10 and 15 years.
Comment of Yves Beck: One of the world’s 20 most influential wine critics. Member of GlobalWineScore.
“A great deal of finesse in the bouquet of the Cuvée Les Boussicaux, with a beautiful alliance between elegant oak, licorice nuances and black fruit notes. The wine has character and tight tannins, which deserve a little more envelopment, but offer a good foundation. The finish needs more aromatic expression. A little patience is called for ; the body is there and can contribute to sustaining the gustatory character”.

“He needs air. Aromas of campfire cooking. Burnt chocolate. The tannins are refined and bitter, the fruit is dark and cooked and covered in blackened spices – like the edges of a Christmas cake.”
