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.
TASTING NOTES
Yves Beck, member of Global Wine Score
The bouquet gradually reveals itself through nuances of graphite, followed by notes of pepper, blackberries and violets. On the palate, the wine clearly displays its youthfulness, echoing the bouquet. It shows vibrancy, supportive tannins and a structuring acidity, ideally underpinned by fine bitter notes.
Rate: 92/100
Jancis Robinson, « World’s Best Wine Critics 2024 »
Such a dark-fruited nose! The wine is almost growling at me from inside the glass. Real intensity and concentration here: cassis, sloe berry, vanilla pod, allspice, blackberry. The tannins have enormous density, a wrap-around portcullis of structure and tense power. Controlled energy.
Rate: 17,5/20
