Bright raspberry and redcurrant characters. A bit more fruit and generosity than this producer's Azalais, but the same bright acidity - crunchy, without any of the slight bitterness of Azalais. Good sense of tension. Not long or rich, but fine and crunchy. Same old-vine parcel as always. Concrete, then tonneau. Tiny bunches. ... More details

Shows black pepper–dusted plum and garrigue notes that start out silky but are quickly propped up, with chewy tannins on a firm frame. Stays light on its feet through the finish, which reveals violet and mesquite smoke details. Drink now through 2028.

Region: Rhone Valley

The southern French wine region of the Rhone Valley has been home to wine-makers for over two thousand years, with the first grapevines of the region being cultivated in around 600 BCE when the ancient Greeks arrived with their knowledge of viticulture and eagerness to produce more wine. Today, the region is famed around the world for the excellence of its produce, and has dozens of wineries making the most of the wide range of grape varietals which flourish there. In the northern sub-region, the continental climate and brisk winds coming off the Central Massif allow wineries to grow a smaller range of varietals – predominantly Syrah, Marsanne, Roussane and Viognier, whereas the southern, more Mediterranean sub-region allows far more range. Here, dozens of varietals are grown for the production of white, red and rosé wines, all packed full of flavor and able to express the unique terroir they are grown on.
