Awards and/or Press Quotes | |
Wine Enthusiast | 88 Points. ‘From 45-year-old Gamay vines, Stéphane Aviron created an open, fruity wine that has fresh cherry flavours cut with acidity and a dry edge of tannin. A smoky as well as juicy character adds interest and spice.’ |
Stephen Tanzer | 88 Points. 'Dark ruby. Aromas and flavours of cherry compoteand dark berries. A plush, creamy rendition of Beaujolais that would work well with grilled red meats or strong cheeses. The finish is broad, smooth and nicely persistent, leaving a suggestion of white pepper behind.' |
