A big step up from the regular Côtes-du-Rhône bottling, this villages wine is brimming with ripe stone fruits—peaches and cherries—accented by chocolate and spice. Silky tannins ease the flavors effortlessly across the palate, while the finish lingers elegantly. A winner from the co-op at Estézargues.

A rare disappointment from the co-op at Estézargues, with just enough volatility to limit its enjoyment. Floral and spice scents poke through a veil of nail polish, and there is some bold black cherry fruit on the midpalate.
