The flagship wine is composed predominately of Grenache (around 80%), with Syrah, Mouvèdre and Cinsault rounding out the blend. The wines are fermented in concrete vats and aged in large foudres (no new oak is used at this no-nonsense domaine). The grapes are not de-stemmed and the wines are neither ... more

Complex aromatics of garrigue, lavender, kirsch, raspberry and earth soar from the surprisingly evolved 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve Auguste Favier. Made from an interesting blend of 82% Grenache, 15% old vine Cinsault and 3% Syrah, half aged in cement tank and half in 600-liter, two- to three-year-old demi-muids, this ... more

A powerful and full-bodied wine with a deep ruby red colour with violet tints. The nose is complex: cinnamon, stewed fruit, and Morello cherry. After a firm and ample attack, on the palate we have vanilla and peppery notes which last to the finish. This is a rich and supple ... more

Always a favorite; in 2008 the estate’s “straight” Gigondas got a bit of a boost with the inclusion of declassed fruit from their top cuvee, “Font de Tonin.” A rich, savory and almost meaty blend of very old-vine Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, aged in older barrel and bottled unfined and ... more

The main features of Côte-Rôtie wines from the land in "Grandes Places" are a strong structure, a nose of black fruits, a little bit rough too, very spicy and long-lasting in the mouth. more

A lovely refreshing marriage. In the bottle, we can find loads of fruit, fragrances of linden tree and white flowers, savours of citrus fruit, a frank liveliness with enough punch that when served as an aperitif, it will tantalize our taste-buds without drowning our thirst. The fragrances evolve after the ... more

James Suckling
I rate wines using the 100-points scale. I have used this point system for close to 25 years. I still believe it is the simplest way to rate a wine, with its origins from grade school in the United States. A wine that I rate 90 points or more is outstanding (A), and worth buying. If I rate a wine 95 points or more (A+), it is a must buy.
