Fennel, spices, dark fruits. Baking spices. Not as dense and concentrated as the La Rubiconde by Maxime-Fran莽ois Laurent (who happen to be the cousins).
Blend of Grenache and Syrah.
Organic BIO wine.
What I really like about such wines that they are drinking so well when young. You can enjoy C么tes-du-Rh么ne of recent vintages which is almost impossible with many fine wines from the region where you need to wait for 10-15 years for Syrah to develop
Great choice for a daily wine -

November 11, 2016 - Subtle fruity nose. Medium bodied, smooth, showing good crunchy tart red fruit with a bit of spice and gentle tannic grip. Very good. Had a glass at Basbas from an opened bottle.

May 24, 2016 - P&p. Smells good - cherry/strawberry/grape (in a good way) sorts of fruit, with spicy-peppery-radishy-earthy pungency/wildness; some explicit Brett, working very well right now but I would not sit on any bottles. Light bodied and juicy on the palate with full on cranberry/hibiscuslike tart acidity, with some sandpapery astringency. Rather grapy and maybe even has a touch of RS, but the acidity is the perfect foil; super fresh, lively and refreshing with a high glou glou factor, and the earthiness/pungency/Brett contributes character and a bit of complexity. Quite enjoyable.

December 28, 2013 - Delightful as a wine but barely recognisable as 70% Grenache / 30% Syrah. Crunchy, tart pomegranate and cranberry fruit, mid - light bodied but deep ruby with plenty of velvety tannins. Good acidity and longish finish.
