Our tasting note:  Dark and brooding, this wine reflects the warm vintage.  Dark fruits, meaty and olive notes (like a Northern Rhone).  If you like Cornas or Hermitage, this vintage is for you.

The 2023 Rouge is outstanding, soaring from the glass with pronounced notes of blackcurrant leaf, dried lavender, ripe blackberry, black plum and fresh violet. Blackcurrant pastille adds extra lift and aromatic breadth. Medium- to full-bodied and shaped by refined tannins, the 2023 is a beautifully judged wine that carries its freshness and verve effortlessly through the long finish. Very much at the level of the equally enchanting 2022, this is a bottle to watch closely. I would not be surprised if it never truly closes down, and I highly recommend opening a first bottle now to enjoy the sheer pleasure of its primary fruit.   By Nicolas Greinacher on May 2026

Very dark with purple rim. Intoxicatingly pure and intense aroma of blackcurrants with a delicate and attractive herbal/leafy note. Floral, too. Smells very 'purple'. On the palate, this is already smooth, the tannins rounded but still deft and compact, embryonically elegant. Very primary now but has the balance and fruit quality to age for a very long time. Long finish, too.
