This was one of those surprise finds one sometimes has in the cellar. I only have the one bottle. Made from roughly equal quantities of all 6 permitted white varieties, Grenache Blanc, Bourboulenc, Clairette, Roussanne, Picpoul and Picardin fermented cool and kept on lees for 5 months, no malolactic. Initial notes of tangerine and pear. I don’t get tropical fruit like some reviewers have said. A waxy texture, mandarin/tangerine and very ripe grapefruit - low acid - developing nutty notes. Rhone whites are always an adventure - remains delicious. — 5 months ago
2013 vintage drink late 2024. Fairly intense, medium tannins, and enough fruit. Lacked a bit of the savory, black olive characteristic that I love so much in CDP, but no real complaints here. — 3 days ago

Blend of Merlot (90%) and Cabernet Franc (10%). Medium ruby/garnet color with a slight brick colored rim. Aromas and flavors of dried cherries, currants, boysenberries and blueberries with notes of orange zest, graphite and violets. Pleasant long finish. Soft tannins and creamy/velvety texture. Extremely well balanced. Silky tannins. Aging gracefully. — 8 months ago

Spectacular aromas of sweet berries, orange! Really smooth on the palate! Did not get time to decant it! Paired with mutton kebabs and a yuckni pulao! Outstanding! — 8 hours ago
