92+ ST "Saturated black ruby to the rim. Brooding aromas of blackberry, minerals, tar and game. Very dense and sweet in the mouth, with highly aromatic flavors of black fruits, violet, licorice, leather, meat and pepper. Very long and gamey on the back end, which features big, tongue-dusting tannins. Reynaud noted that this cuvee features a particularly successful combination of slightly roasted grapes and those that were distinctly higher in acidity. Southern Rhone syrah of rare class and complexity."

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.
A warm-climate red giving generous, high-alcohol wines of red fruit and spice. It anchors southern Rhone blends and old-vine wines in Spain and Australia.
