A great drinking red at an affordable price from one of France's big names.
Cameron Douglas MS
Classic, fruity, dry, textured and delicious. A wine with core flavours of spiced and fresh plums, an earthy soil qualities and textured from tannin and leesy flinty seams. Medium+ weighted with some sweetness from the use of oak, an abundance of tannins, fine with lots of polish, then crunch and freshness from the acid line. A fruity red berry and plum core, textures and lots of mouthfeel with a balanced, even finish. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2029. 93 Points

Muddled black plum, apricot skin and boysenberry aromas frolic on the nose accented by hibiscus and violet blossom. Prominent black fruit on the palate leans against red raspberry on the finish that slightly-grippy tannins enhance. Pair with a bacon cheeseburger, lamb chop and roasted eggplant. 91 Points
Stuart Pigott, James Suckling
A very satisfying Côtes du Rhône with an an excellent balance of generous red fruit and delicate spicy aromas, with remarkably fine tannins for an entry-level wine. They support the long, velvety finish. A cuvee of 60% grenache, 30% syrah and 10% mourvedre. Drink or hold. 91 Points
