Tasting notes
(this includes 10% viognier, which Lionel Faury said was not typical for the northern part of the appellation, where the soils are mostly schist): Vivid ruby. Raspberry, cherry and violet on the sexy, perfumed nose. Juicy and energetic, with very good depth and focus to its tangy red and dark berry flavors. Becomes spicier with air and finishes with excellent clarity and lingering sweetness. I find this wine quite approachable now but it has the depth and balance to age.

Bright ruby. Lively red berry and floral aromas, with a strong spicy quality and a hint of cola. Juicy and plump but energetic, with very good clarity to its raspberry and blueberry flavors. Finishes gently sweet and with fine-grained tannins, and echoes the red fruit and spice notes. This is aging in 40% new oak but I don't detect it.
