This also says “Lieu-dit Les Berthaidieres.” Whatever it is, it is very good stuff. Nose has crushed granite, tangy dark cherry, and a sachet of almost holiday-esque spices. Intensely flavored on the palate, with zingy acids. Tangy cherries and stony minerals. Some very soft tannin. Damn nice for this Bojo aficionado.

Between Notes of red and black fruits, spices and generous floral notes. Evocation of violet, pepper, apricot (viognier contribution). Balance and charming in the style of the beautiful expressions of a Crozes Hermitage. Very beautiful Syrah typical of the Rhone-Nord. Unfailing price/pleasure ratio.

Entre notes de fruits rouges et noirs, épices et notes florales généreuses. Évocation de la violette, du poivre, de l’abricot (apport du viognier). Équilibre et gourmandise dans le style des belles expressions d’un Crozes Hermitage. Très belle Syrah typique du Rhone-Nord. Rapport prix/plaisir infaillible. — 3 years ago

Only moderately aromatic, barely present dried strawberry and kind of generic cherry aroma. Palate shows this is very well made, with good structure, but also strongly acidic and tannic. May just be shut down and will blossom with time, not sure. — 5 years ago

Beautiful entry-level cuvée by one of the great artisans of the Northern Rhône.
Simple and straightforward Syrah. Nose and attack on fresh black fruits (blackberries, blueberries). Clear neat body, enhanced with touches of violet, white pepper, and slightly minty, characteristic of Syrah ... Final which unfolds admirably with delicately chiseled tannins. Nice bottle to open as an aperitif, on a cold meats and cheese board, ideally accompanied by some fruit and nuts, and a piece of fresh baguette.

Belle cuvée d’entrée de gamme par l’un des grands artisans du Rhône Nord.
Syrah simple et droite tres gourmande. Nez et attaque sur les fruits noirs frais (mûres, myrtilles). Corp limpide soigné, réhaussé de touches de violette, poivre blanc, et légèrement mentholée, caractéristique de la Syrah... Finale qui se déploie admirablement avec des tanins délicatement ciselés. Belle bouteille à ouvrir des l’apéro, sur une planche de charcuterie et fromages, idéalement accompagnés de quelques fruits et noix, et un bout de baguette fraîche. — 6 years ago

The charm of the Cab-franc de Loire in the expression of a cuvée to drink on youth. Variety notes in the spotlight: raspberry, violet, slate. 2020 is concentrated, bearing the stigma of solar vintages with almost liquorice notes. Blindly, it almost feels like you're in the Rhône-Nord (without pepper) Fine and gourmet. Drink refreshed 13/15 degrees.

Le charme du Cab-franc de Loire dans l’expression d’une cuvée à boire sur la jeunesse. Notes variétales à l’honneur: framboise, violette, ardoise. 2020 est concentré, portant les stigmates des millésimes solaires avec des notes presque réglisse. A l’aveugle on se croirait presque dans le Rhône-Nord (sans le poivre) Fin et gourmand. À boire rafraîchi 13/15 degrés. — 4 years ago

Jammy smell. First sip very strong flavor, sweet and tangy. Hints of alcohol that help to balance the flavor. Very rich and fruity flavor. — 5 months ago

Always one of the sure values among Moroccan wines. Evocation of the Rhône-Nord, an ode to Syrah reminiscent of a Crozes or St Jo, under the vertical sun. Great consistency from the nose to the final. Requires at least two hours of ventilation. Floral, fruity, peppery etc. Even better the next day.
