In this category I have gathered all the wines for which I had a crush during my tastings. Sometimes it's an exceptional vintage, sometimes it's an excellent value for money, but also a wine with extraordinary taste qualities or an atypical aromatic richness.
You will find both small entry-level cuvées and great gastronomic wines. Their profiles can be totally different, light wines or on the contrary powerful wines, but they all have one factor in common: they are very well made and deserve our full attention.
Native yeasts Ageing for 12 months in new demi-muid and Burgundy oak barrels
- Nose : expressive and intense. Notes of blackberry, cherry, chocolate and blackcurrant.
- Palate : silky juice. Slightly woody. Fine but present tannins. Good ageing potential.
Tasting date: October 2022.
OUR OPINION: a fruity vintage, to be decanted during the first years or to be left to age in the cellar for a few extra years, until 2027 for example.

OUR OPINION: rancio wines are rare. The oxidative ageing in solera gives it the nutty and raisiny aromas typical of rancio wines, it is beautiful and good!
- Nose: intense. Aromas of cocoa, bitter orange, very ripe black cherry, blackcurrant, with a hint of spice (cinnamon, ginger).
- Palate: soft, pleasantly fragrant and tasty.
Tasting date: May 2022
OUR OPINION: this Banyuls rimage is said to be of late bottling because it matured in casks for 15 months, during which it gains in complexity and aromatic richness. Its candied fruit aromas are a delight!
Complex - Rich - Tasty
