I am so impressed with this wine. Despite it being the youngest of La Crau, the vines are still older than 20 years. What to say really....this wine is sublime. Soft notes of red berries but the palate is ripe blue and black berries. Almost like grabbing a handful of berries out of a bowl and devouring them. Cloves as well then there's also an amazing granite like minerality to it while the finish lasts an eternity, similar to bell chime slow resonating out, as I said....sublime and this is only Brunier's second wine from the vineyard.

Very approachable CDP from an excellent vintage, opened fully within 45 min in a decanter.

We had the 2010 Vintage on 10/16-17/20. The bouquet had that classic Garrigue. Blackberry, cherry, oak and spice. A smooth finish. The wine is fruit forward and almost full bodied.

Vanilla, sweet spice, blackberry jam. Soft, balanced tannins. The wine finishes warm and comfortable. A crowd pleaser. Goes down too easy.
