Le millésime

L'année 2012 n’a pas épargné les vignerons : même les plus avisés en ont quasiment « perdu le Nord » ! L’hétérogénéité au vignoble porte d’emblée la marque des dégâts provoqués par le gel hivernal. Fort malheureusement, certains pieds de très vieux Grenache et Syrah ne résisteront pas. Perte d’un patrimoine précieux, impact sur les rendements de la vendange à venir, le ... Afficher plus ›

Lovely crushed raspberry and boysenberry fruit glides along, lined with licorice, roasted apple wood and plum sauce notes. The long, fleshy finish has good focus, with a lingering hint of tar. Best from 2016 through 2024.

This is a huge Châteauneuf, flashy and modern, the sweet, smooth black fruit polished to a high sheen with the coconut richness of oak. It feels balanced in the style, with a dark meatiness that underlines the wine and tempers the strength of the tannins. Pair it with a seared rib eye.
