* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Made in homage to Etienne Gonnet, the founder of the estate, this wine is only produced in top years (there was no 2002, for example). Old vines give great concentrated fruit, dominated by the ripe, earthy Grenache, with a touch of sophistication from Syrah and Mourvèdre. This is well-made wine, ripe, delicious and likely to age. Imported by MacArthur Beverages.

Although this wine's nose is still going strong--filled with hints of honey and tangerine--the fruit on the palate is fading rapidly. Drink up.

This is a dusty, softly tannic wine that brings together very ripe fruit with some elegance. Flavors of wood strawberries, cherries, spice and a hint of tobacco all give a sense of complexity. The tannins become dry in the mouth, hinting at ageworthiness. Imported by MacArthur Beverages.

Unlike many '05 Rhônes, this is made in a soft, silky, approachable style, marrying brandied cherries with cinnamon and clove and supple tannins. Shows a touch of warmth on the finish. Drink now-2018.

Sweet and spicy nose, lots of rich ripe fruit aromas, herbs and butter, very aggressive and forward aromas; big sweet fruit at the front of the mouth, but chunky and not refined; the flavor comes forward in blocks of sweetness and ripe fruit, herbal and a bit grassy; big and rich, almost buttery, but with good acidity at the finish; medium finish; lacks interest overall. (15.5/20)
