November 6, 2021 - Rubied; tertiary, leaf mould, band ai, blossomed with considerable air; fully developed, low key fruit, nourished, grainy; flourishes on a driven finish, very long. Best drunk soon?
December 6, 2018 - Dinner at Etto: This showed quite well. Nose has a lot of spicy herbs, tart cherries, sage, soy. Moderate tannins, medium+ acidity, with lots of smoky herbs, pepper, menthol. A really spicy and tangy wine that is likely nearing the end of its run.
September 9, 2018 - Good, but closer to adequate than outstanding. Notes of tobacco and forest fruit, a hint of bell pepper, a mouthful of the same, not completely ripe and slightly brown at the edges, but a confident if restrained finish. Enjoyable but not memorable.
December 30, 2017 - Bu chez sousou, a Perpignan, avec papa et jacouilles. Robe rubis, légère evolution. Nez d intensité légère sur l humus, les dessous de bois et une framboise évoluée. Belle matière en bouche et tanins soyeux . Finale sur la framboise compotee. Bon, il faut commencé à le boire.
March 25, 2014 - On the 1st night, it was a great Bourgueil. Tobacco, dark fruits, good structure, a little Bordeaux like.
Did not re-taste it until 2 days later and it totally fell apart, lost its structure and fruit was flat.
Oh well, at least we enjoyed it on the 1st night.
October 13, 2012 - Good colour; plummy nose, dense, oak suppresses grassy aromatics; smooth, verging on plush, supple fruit; finishes a bit flat. Near to full maturity.
January 6, 2012 - Charming nose with little berries, leather, sweet spices and coffee along with a vegetal/green aspect precede a nicely medium plus bodied balanced mouth where the tanins are silky. A wine of finesse.
Le nez est charmeur sur les petits fruits rouges acidulés, le cuir, les épices douces et des arômes torréfiés (café). Même si ce n'est en général pas trop marqué chez ce domaine, nous retrouvons des notes végétales de cabernet franc ligérien. En bouche, nous retrouvons l'acidité ligérienne, les tanins sont soyeux et le vin est tout en finesse. C'est beau et gourmand. 17 euros.
16,5/20
September 19, 2010 - smooth. a bit weak on the attack. tart cranberries, spice and biter chocolate. this is a smoother wine with less sophistication, but its still very pleasant.
March 7, 2010 - Purple tinged; red fruit pastilles, classic grassy element, some old oak muffles fruit; soft fruits yet lean, this has some tannins in background; finishes a little short, this lacks stuffing for long term.
