Black fruits galore with huge granitic expression. Super mineral, earthy and clean, with major concentration and real freshness. So alive and energetic, the fruit has incredible vigor. Has that classic ashy Cornas thing. From 6 different plots, with granite and some limestone. Fantastic.

No notes, but concentrated & big palate. Tannins need a a few more years to work themselves out in bottle, or decant

Deep ruby-purple. Dark cherry, dark plum, potting soil, dried leaves, medium+ acid, medium+ clayey tannins, medium finish. Juicy and round on the palate. Vinification in cement tanks then transferred to Foudre for 3pm this.

Gamey, smokey, brambly fruit with soft tannin... it transports me.... Perfect with some earthy caviar lentils 🙌🏾

Intense dark fruit, blood, and meat. Still grippy and not completely shed of youth. Wish this was opened five years from now.
