I have a tenuous rapport with this cuvée. By my estimation, fewer than 30% of the bottles rise to an acceptable standard - often marred by mousiness, excessive oxidation, or, regrettably, both. So happy to report that I finally understand people’s love for this wine: here’s a bottle of extraordinary grace, devoid of any trace of those usual flaws.

It unfolded with a beguiling array of scents - red apple, kumquat, fresh bread, white florals, chalk, ginger, and even a trace of dried herbs. On the palate, vinous and alive with beautiful energy, finishing long and saline. And yet, despite this moment of brilliance, I can’t justify the gamble - not when the Les Béguines stands as a safer, surer choice. — a day ago

Strong nose of hazelnuts and cloves. Has almost a medicinal quality. This split the group with many finding the 15% alcohol too much.
Served with flammed salmon and asparagus risotto. — 7 months ago

Strawberry rhubarb, some funk, some sweet tart. My kind of glou glou — 2 years ago

Absolutely worth the hype. One of the best grower roses. Ripe strawberry, wild herbs, Swiss chard. — 3 months ago

Pear, melon, minerals, a little bit of white flowers — little citrus, lemon. Quite good actually. Would be delicious with light fish, actually makes me want fish … 89. — 5 months ago
