Well-crafted Côtes du Rhône punching above appellation status. Deep ruby with purple highlights. Nose: attractive black cherry, blackberry, violet, garrigue herbs and hint of black pepper. Palate: good concentration with dark fruits complemented by savory elements and subtle spice. Medium to full-bodied with well-integrated tannins and balanced acidity. Persistent finish with pleasant mineral undertone. Impressive quality ambassador even at entry level. [Rhone Roots 2025, Lumiere London]
