Score 92/100 · Drink 2019-2025, Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, Apr 2018
A blend of 40% Carignan, 40% Syrah and 20% Grenache off a south-exposed, limestone parcel, 80% of the 2016 Minervois La Ciaude aged in oak. It's toasty and cedary as a result, with hints of garrigue and mixed berries poking through the vanillin overcoat. Medium to full-bodied, with a supple, creamy texture on the mid-palate, it then ends crisp and clean.

About the producer

Jean-Paul Tollot & Anne Gros
Anne Gros is better known for her estate in Vosne-Romanée, as is her partner Jean-Paul Tollot for his family’s Domaine Tollot-Beaut in Chorey-lès-Beaune. Beyond Burgundy, however, the duo makes some impressive wine in Cazelles in the Minervois, working with higher-altitude vineyards.
