Quite dark color, nearly opaque, still quite amazing for a 16-year-old CdRV (Lirac), great redfruits and darkfruits, I cannot forecast how long this bottling will last (you can see the cepage in the picture), but the l’Astrolabe bottling (100% Syrah) has already shown it’s easy longevity. Biodynamic, the late Philippe Cambie and Philippe Faure-Brac (2022, Best Sommelier in the World, consulted on this wine. — 2 days ago

2018 vintage. For his fun "Goutte du Seigneur" label Bernard Duseigneur buys organic grapes (his own vineyards are biodynamically farmed). This is a Grenache - Syrah blend and it's absolutely delicious even if a bit more bottle age is recommended. Smells like freshly crushed black cherries and flowers. Gorgeous bright cherries, fresh acidity and a nice ripe tannic bite. Very serious wine for the price. — 6 years ago

[100% Syrah] This is super, super fresh, youthful, and should easily last another 15 years, same cast of characters except all Syrah, blue/black fruit aromas and flavors, long finish, another level up from the Odyssey!! — 2 days ago

Från biodynamiskt skötta kalkstensvingården Le Grand Dévès Lieu-dit. Gamla stockar. Betongjäst, 40% utan att avstjälkas. 4000 flaskor totalt. Smakrik och tät i stilen. Sprängfylld smak med viol, körsbär, blåbär, lakrits, skogshallon, blodgrape och kryddor. Grusig mineral, fräschör och torrt avslut. Seriöst och komplext som möter hedonistiskt klunkigt, omöjligt att sluta dricka. — 6 years ago

They may be next-door to Tavel but this wine looks further South to Provence. — 12 years ago

2023 vintage. Very impressive 100% Clairette. Intense perfume of white peach, lime and flowers. Layers of bright fruit and spices, with refreshing acidity and a very long, saline finish. This might well be the best white Catarina I've ever tasted. Abv. 13,5% — a year ago

9.5

Spectacular Chateauneuf-du-Pape from century-old Grenache vines in the Colombis lieu-dit with extremely low yields (15 hl/ha). Only 900 bottles produced in 2015. Intensely perfumed with licorice, dark cherries and fresh herbs. Concentrated and powerful, but very elegant at the same time, like Burgundy on high alcohol steroids. The Grenache alcohol (15,5 % abv) is perfectly balanced by the acidity and the velvety tannin structure. Very long finish too. Biodynamically farmed. This producer always seems to get it right. — 6 years ago

16.5/20 (89/100) Свежее и приятное вино с ароматами зеленого перца и горошка, земляники и цветов тысячелистника. Достаточно тельное с умеренной кислотностью. Земляничное во вкусе. Дача летом. #prowein2018 — 8 years ago
