This Trousseau of Ganevat (negotiant) is now in a great shape. This is really fun on a summer evening. A mixture of red fruits (raspberries, strawberries), roses and a light spice. On the palate it is also redberried, with lots of freshly ground black pepper. With its 12.5% alcohol rather light to medium weight, medium+ acidity, and little tannin. Nevertheless the wine has a nice definition and is incredibly drinkable and animating. This is not a great wine, but very lively and multi-faceted. A pleasure! — 6 years ago

Maybe it’s the perfectly grilled ribeye talking but sappy, sanguine and delicious — 3 years ago
A blend of mondeuse, gamay and pinot noir blend with roasted plum, licorice, wet forest floor and some charred salinity on the nose and cherries, baking spices, cinnamon, star anise and dried kokum on the palate. This is a bold wine at 11.5 % alcohol. Pair with fatty and buttery dishes. — 7 years ago

Tasted in Octon. Tannic and well structured. Deep but not too extracted; nicely balanced with fruit mostly in the background. Will develop nicely into secondary over the next 8 years. — 11 years ago

A beautiful fresh lush dark-tinged Grenache piece (with little dollops of Syrah, Cinsault, and Clairette). Partnership between Kermit Lynch and the Brunier family (of Vieux Telegraphe fame) to revive a declining 500 year old winery. The results are wonderful. Besides the aforementioned fruit, there is a vibrant cut to the palate, old vine savoriness, dusty flowers, spice, and a layer of smoke/mineral. You’ll want some game meats with this, trust me. @Delectable Wine this is the Les Racines, NOT Terrasse du Diable. — 7 years ago
