  Pale ruby fading quickly to rust/orange with a clear rim. Cherry, sandalwood, and damp earth on the nose. Light-to-medium bodied on the palate with mild tannins and low to medium acidity. Flavors of redand dark berries and graphite. Short dusty finish.
  
  I want to like this. But I'm not quite there. I want more...something - berry, earth, mineral. Something to give this an identity. It's fine. I will finish the bottle. But I will not buy another.

  Light brick see through color. Beautiful nose of purple and red flowers and tart red berry fruit. The palate features cranberry and sour red cherry fruit, mushrooms and earth. Hint of baking spice. Not much of a mid-palate and a very short finish. Medium acidity. Some things to like here but this wine comes up a bit short.

  Funky manure nose, strawberries and cherries. Very small amount of tannins. Acidity was a bit low. Enjoyable, but will probably try another producer's Poulsard next. Not my favorite example of this grape.

  Grenat . Clair , malgré un soupçon de turbidité.
  Nez d'orange.
  
  Encore une fois, ce poulsard demeure le meilleur de la maison Rolet.
  Son corps est plutôt léger, mais à 15 degrés et une demi-heure d'aération, on apprécie sa franche sapidité et digestibilité.
  
  Ça se boit dans la bonne humeur, tout à fait dans l'esprit du printemps et de la chaleur du soleil retrouvé,
  et sa finale d'orange sanguine confirme cette impression.
  Ce poulsard en est d'ailleurs surchargé de ce soleil !
  
  Un plaisir toujours renouvelé.
