Tasting of the "vins & terroirs authentiques" 2026 guide:

Rating: 17/20

"A splendid, inky robe with a closed, purplish rim. Extremely seductive with its persistent aromas of red and black fruits in syrup (blackberry, Morello cherry, raspberry, blueberry), the bouquet is complemented by notes of sweet spices and cocoa. A particularly engaging whole. Tasters unanimously praise the wine's rich texture, elegant tannins, and exuberant fruitiness (candied cherry, black berries). A pervasive sensation of sweetness is evident."

The structure of this wine, with its great depth, is remarkably tight. Its strength suggests excellent aging potential. A long, juicy, and flavorful finish beautifully punctuates this ambitious wine.
