Not gonna lie, the label caught my attention. And I'm so happy it did. Outstanding! Nectarine, pineapple, lemon oil goodness. Had it with food and it was exemplary. I didn't want the bottle to finish. These guys know what they're doing with Chard. Can't wait to taste their Pinot Noir.... — 8 years ago

Took a chance on this one. I'm glad I did. Bright and juicy with great tannins. Opened it and left it for a few minutes and it opened up lovely — I loved it even more. So juicy!!! — 9 years ago

This one was tricky. I enjoyed it immensely as it opened up the more I drank. Bright and fruity on the palette with a nice long finish. I just may pick up another bottle or two and see how it ages... — 8 years ago

This was a.......surprise. The server said it was kinda rare and fun. He was right. It was light and very drinkable with notes of honeysuckle and crisp peaches - but with a roundness that satisfies. Corbieres/Languedoc one my faves. No wonder. — 9 years ago

I thought, "This label too chichi to carry anything good in the bottle. It's overcompensating!" Boy was I wrong! I loved it! I decanted — but only because I wanted to be fancy with dinner. But honestly, it's probably great right of the bottle. Simultaneously spicy AND velvety with a really great finish! — 8 years ago

One word describes this wine: satisfying. It paired so well with my Entrecôte and his rump steak that we walked out feeling fine and not stuffed. Good acidity and tannins to stand up to the meat-a-palooza we consumed. Right and stewed fruit and a fantastically long finish. PS Robert et Louise is a must if you find yourself in Le Marais. — 9 years ago
