“Great finesse and respect for the terroir here.” - Decanter, 97 points

The best way I can think to describe this is to imagine a Gevrey-Chambertin that spends its summer holidays in the South of France. It’s a wonderful mixture of Burgundian elegance, southern warmth and mellow age. Aged for 22 months in wooden barrels (40%), steel tank (40%) and in 500-litre demi-muids (20%). The blend is 37 % Carignan, 39 % Syrah, 24 % Grenache Noir. 12.5% alc. Drink now-2024.

Press reviews:

Decanter: “Subtle oak, quite complex cedar and spice. Nice freshness, good acidity and evident tannins suggesting this will improve for several years in bottle. Has an engaging ‘natural’ feel to it. Unforced and highly drinkable. Great finesse and respect for the terroir here. Drink now-2025.” 97 points

Jamie Goode: “Sweetly aromatic with some peppery notes, some cherry and a bit of blood. Very fresh, fine and peppery with lovely red fruits. Bright and precise with nice juiciness under the fruit. Fine, peppery and tapering: this is very Burgundian in style.” 96 points

JancisRobinson.com: “When first opened, this smelt of cherry tobacco and sous bois. Four days later it smells exquisitely of dried rose petals, rose hips, first-flush mountain oolong, truffles. Soaring grace notes of lavender and apple mint. This is a wine with such a quiet centre, holding it in your mouth is like walking into a small, round, stone chapel deep in a mountain forest, where the only sound is pine needles dropping on carpets of pine needles; where you can hear the light falling through the leaves and the dust suspended in the air. The tannins are so breathtakingly fine, yet so present, like the finest cashmere silk torn around ancient driftwood. It tastes of cherries, of mint, of Victoria-plum skin, of forest earth on ruby watch glass, of tamari umami and nori iodine. And on the finish, the spices fill your senses like vespers. (TC).
