"Deep, garnet-coloured in appearance. The fresh character on the bouquet develops intense aromas of black berry fruits, spice and subtle oaky tones. The wine is generous, fleshy and crunchy on the palate, shot through with a seam of silky tannins. Overall the wine is well-balanced and fresh to the end, and culminates in a lingering, spicy finish." —winemaker

"The color is intense, deep and steady. The nose shows maturity with aromas of black fruits and warm spices. We find the soils of origin are revealed with floral notes (violet) which are lightly smoky. We can find the same aromatic notes on the Northern Côtes du-Rhône soils, which are the birthplace of the Syrah. The attack is both supple and powerful. Tannins are at the same time powerful and tight. The finale is fresh without any heaviness." —winemaker
Wine Anthology Team Review-Made up of Syrah, Grenache and Carignan this wine comes from one of the top estates in the Rhone valley. Perfectly balanced, elegant and full of flavor from start to finish this bottle would be an ideal companion with most Lamb dishes. Take this with you to dinner and thank me later. Cheers!
"In 2018, the wine quickly distinguished itself by its fresh, elegant and distinguished style, that this vintage offers with brightness, precision, and great depth. Undoubtely a very good wine that all the wine aficionados should discover." —winemaker
"A red wine from Bordeaux. Deep in color, the wine offers licorice, crushed stone and dark cherries from start to finish. On the palate you also find polished, silky dark, red fruits with more of that crushed rock sensations." —winemaker
"The “Classic” has a distinctive floral component and is a pretty wine, at the same time, it captures the power and spice you expect from a classic Châteauneuf. The vines average 50 years-old and are grown in a sandy loam and clay soil." —winemaker
"It displays a deep, crystalline color and a bright violet-ruby rim. The nose is expressive of crunchy ripe red and black fruits, flint, rose petal and violet. The palate strikes immediately with a density of texture, balanced and lifted by bright acidity and freshness of fruit, which gives way to notes of spice underpinned by silky, elegant tannins. The long finish is driven by vibrant acidity, bright fruit, and a chalk dust-like minerality." —winemaker
