From the full bouquet with its dark-cherry and black-pepper notes, this wine makes its presence felt. There’s very good depth of fruit, with a characteristic brambly quality. Some complexity can be found here via earth and white-pepper elements that accent the fruit.

A rather leathery, lean character, with heavy tannins indicate this is a wine made in the old style. For those who like this style, however, this is a fine example, packed with dense dryness and austere fruit. It is likely to age well, over 10 years. Imported by Langdon Shiverick.

This full-flavored blend is 65% Grenache and the balance is mostly Syrah, with a little Mourvèdre. It opens with a rustic nose and full earthy, horsey flavors. There’s a very typical Rhône-ish brambly quality to the dark-berry fruit, and the finish is long and flavorful. Quite approachable right now; it should drink well for the next 4 to 8 years, maybe longer.

Soft and pleasant, this white blend offers attractive aromas and flavors. A melange of mild fruit and spice elements makes for very easy drinking, and the mouthfeel is smooth, almost creamy.

With Maraine at Hostellerie Reine Jeanne, Les Baux-de-Provence. Gorgeous village much more impressive than this wine.
