Score 94/100 · Drink 2018-2026, William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Jun 2018

Exhibiting complex aromas of cherries, burnt sage, spices and a lifted top note of kirsch, the 2014 Bésoleil is medium to full-bodied, velvety and supple, with an open-knit, ample profile but with lovely succulent acidity to balance its texture. It's a blend of 33% Grenache, 24% Counoise, 20% Syrah, 17% Cinsault and 6% Mourvèdre.

Rhône blend, with grapes from the oldest Grenache vineyard in the state. Rich and round. Lots of sweetness, and fun. Complete – sweet and gunmetal, though the tannins are pretty much in retreat. Admirable. (JR)

Medium red. Sexy, high-toned red cherry and red berry aromas showcase the wine's Grenache component (but this vintage features the lowest percentage to date of this variety). Bright, ripe raspberry and cherry flavors are complicated by smoky and peppery nuances. A very graceful red blend with sweet tannins and excellent persistence.
