    90% Syrah, 10% Viognier, from gneiss soils in southern sector, Bassenon the name of stream at foot of hill, official vineyard name Coteaux de Semons
    Full, hearty red robe. The bouquet is full, but precise in its fruit declaration, has a smoky-oak coolness, lines up cassis, blue fruits. The palate carries the softness of Bassenon, is supple in feel, offers a gourmand set of mixed fruits, plums, carries squeezy, engaging tannins, ends on a wheel of roundness. It's attractive and true. Drink 2025-2047 5 STARS JOHN LIVINGSTONE-LEARMONTH

    Vivid purple. Intense, sharply focused aromas of ripe red and blue fruits, licorice, exotic spices, apricot and olive. Stains the palate with sappy cherry, boysenberry and candied violet flavors. It steadily picks up spice and mineral flourishes with aeration. Well-concentrated and lively as well, finishing with excellent clarity, sneaky tannins and strong, floral-driven tenacity.

    Full, dark red colour; a beef, oxtail aroma features in a sultry nose, one that carries sun, emphasis, cooked plum fruit cooked, oaking. The palate bears evident richness, fat, is layered, copious, digs in deeply, is a vintage over terroir Cornas, succulent in style, the tannins layered. There are discreet mineral tones through it - helpful…Drink 2024-2043 (4 stars) JOHN LIVINGSTONE-LEARMONTH

    Saturated violet. Displays expansive, mineral- and spice-driven aromas of fresh black and blue fruits, peony and exotic spices. Sappy and energetic in style, offering appealingly sweet cherry and blueberry flavors that show fine definition and deepen slowly with air. The blue fruit note drives an impressively long, floral-accented finish that's given subtle grip by finegrained, even tannins. Drink 2026-35 (94) JOSH RAYNOLDS
