Interesting “Vin de France” that is the brainchild of the great Louis Barruol. Primarily made with Grenache that is a blending of several vintages, all vinified in concrete tanks. This one was bottled in 2019. Deep ruby/garnet/purple color. Aromas of ripe red berry fruit, dried purple flowers and dusty earth. Flavors of strawberries, red and black cherries, blackberries, red and black licorice and baking spices. Touch of black pepper spice on the medium-plus and slightly earthy/musty/peaty finish. Medium-plus acidity. Light and well integrated tannins. Pleasant texture and purity. Interesting concept that has led to an interesting wine. Excellent QPR. — 4 months ago

Quel beau vin de niveau Villages, jeune certes mais se boit bien maintenant, belle structure et des tannins bien présents mais approchables au touché et avec une belle fraîcheur. 91-92

Gorgeous Villages level wine, young but drinks well even now, nice structure, approachable tannins, nice freshness, good length, very satisfying at this level. — 4 years ago

Crisp, clear, bitter undertones, paired well with a lemony spaghetti and seafood dish. — 7 months ago

Super dusty, would have pegged it for much older. Wet leather, cedar, and cloves. Tasty, but shouldn’t sit for much longer. — 3 years ago

Super beau Chambolle, a eu besoin d’air, fruits rouges et noirs, assez dense et soyeux comme texture, croquant, assez tight et jeune encore mais s’est montré superbe une fois ouvert avec de l’air un peu. Bien hâte de boire les prochaines dans quelques années. 92-93

Gorgeous Chambolle more on the powerful and tight side right now, needed air to show the gorgeous red and dark fruit, impressive texture, silky and enveloping, balanced and needs more time for the next bottles but great potential. — 3 years ago
