February 16, 2022 - Nez d'épices...vanille, de chocolat au lait, de notes florales...pot-pourri, ainsi que des notes végétales. Un vin fruité aux saveurs de fruits rouges mûrs...cerise...griotte. Un vin charnu, sec avec des tannins fins et une acidité fraiche. Équilibré, texturé...beaucoup d'extraction...avons décanté. Finale moyenne sur des notes poivrées. Très beau et boire d'ici 2025. 91++

December 15, 2021 - Compared to coursodon l’olivaie….which was a better wine…
More barnyard funk on nose..burnt ember, deep framboise, very interesting…keeps you coming back for more aromas….quite enticing.
Still a bit tartish red bright fruit, a little one dimensional, and the tongue isn’t quite all together on the tartish acidic finish… to me this doesn’t quite deliver a N Rhône experience in the totality…..1 person found this helpful Comment -

April 30, 2021 - I agree with most of the comments below - blackberry/cherry, mineral, reasonably long, and soft. My score is on the high end of this group because I've had the wine dozen times starting around 2017 and have enjoyed it every time - this is important to my score - though I guess some people believe there are only great bottles. Its weird to me that even Gonon in a great year struggles to get a 94 point rating and it is now 3-4x the price of this wine.
