  • Changiert noch, in der Nase Brombeere, schwarze Johannisbeere, Tomatenstrauch, florale Noten, Pfeffer, ganz subtile Cabernet-Würze. Am Frisch und mit tragender Säure, rot-blaues, süßes Fruchtextrakt, Cabernet-Würze, auch leicht grüne Noten, das Tannin ist gut integriert und blitzt nur noch sporadisch durch. Ich verstehe die Idee hinter dem Wein, aber meiner Ansicht nach verliert die Cuvée mehr an Frische und Würze als sie durch den Körper der Cab Sauvignon gegenüber einem sortenreinen Cab Franc von der Loire hinzugewinnt. Ich bin ein Fan von Clau de Nell, aber die Cuvée Violette geht für mich in die falsche Richtung. YMMV.

  • Decanted at 6pm and tasted repeatedly over 5 hours. This was a little disappointing. Slightly green on the nose along with florals, herbs and some “crunchy” red fruit. Palate has bright acidity but a slightly bitter finish and a distinct celery note on the finish that lingers which took a friend who is a “super-taster” and I some time to specifically identify and confirm with a crisp stalk from the refrigerator. Pleasant and bright, light to medium bodied but neither elegant nor rich in texture. A less than stellar vintage may explain it.

  • This was good—rather dense on palate, purple color, starts a bit cab franc green, but with air builds into more rounded, black fruited wine. Still balanced and fresh. Recommend. Best of this domaine’s wines I’ve had.

  • Cassis and blackberry on the nose. After two hours, smoked bacon as well.
    Young and fresh in acidity and tannins.
    Not sure what else, didn't take any formal notes and it was a week ago.
    We liked it a lot.

  • this wine was ridiculously young with great structure, still tannic though not in an unpleasant way, needs food
