  March 13, 2024 - Possessing much less complexity than their lower level bottles; the 2007 Cuvee de mon Aieul is very fruity, one dimensional, and wildly overpriced. Very dark and reduced; it's a bit smokey with a lightly spiced finished. Alcoholic mid-palate (15%) quickly dries out and leaves a heavy note of oak and somewhat green tobacco. This seems to be a case of over-manipulation and heavy-handed winemaking; if they would have done less, it might have ended with a better result.

  March 19, 2023 - This cuvee, reported to be all Grenache, often strikes me with rich, dark aromatics of ground carob, more than herbs or fruits. In time, some of those emerge though. Drunk with 07 Clos des Papes.. this is a more full bodied, substantial wine.
