Very rich and broad. Succulent dark fruit with lovely plummy Grenache, a hint of tobacco and dried herbs, but this is is a vivid and ripe wine with almost tangy acidity. A modern CNdP but gorgeous dark fruit.

From mag. Very deep, dark and smoky. Rich and ripe with intense plum fruit with notes of violet, mocha, dried herbs, black cherry. The fruit is intense and supple with loads of complexity. Wonderful stuff.

2011. So much energy, focus, fine tannins for ages, strawberry and spice. Another testament of a screaming 15% alcohol Grenache.

One of my fav Pure's so far, spicy, focused, vibrant, kirsch, with some interesting whole cluster ferment character

100% Grenache, biodynamic... A game changer modern Grenache with a ton of complexity. Say goodbye to your Pinot Noir - This is the wine you have been waiting for. 👌🏻

Love it
Deep and focused with dark plum flavors and a brooding nose.
