The Buyer (DK), February 2021, Collection Syrah 2019 “(…) vibrant, fresh, peppery, red-fruited expression of altitude Syrah. Polished, there’s subtle oak, but the sensual spice is fruit-driven.”
* vin très réussi. « Pourpre brillant à reflets violines, il dévoile un nez et caractéristiques de cassis et de violette. En bouche, une solide charpente soutient une matière ample. »
*1 étoile Guide Hachette
Jancis Robinson - 17/20. "Vincent Chansault (the winemaker) is a big fan of the Rhône. Very good structure. Cool and sleek and very polished. Very, very fresh. Very un-Languedoc!”
Tasting notes
Very deep colour, opaque. Black pepper, liquorice and spice. A full bodied wine, with layers of black fruits, pepper and moderate tannins. A fresh, clean, concentrated style more akin to the cooler examples from Northern Rhone.
