"Saturated ruby-purple to the rim. Blackberry, violet and lead pencil on the nose, along with strong bitter chocolate and espresso notes of torrefaction. Strong oak-influenced flavors similar to the aromas. Dense, sappy and wonderfully perfumed in the mouth. Less creamy than the estate's regular Cotes du Vivarais bottling, but unusually aromatic and vibrant thanks to firm but perfectly integrated acids. Finishes with lush, sweet tannins and strong oak notes of vanilla and toast. An exceptional wine from an appellation not generally known for high quality."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
