Decanter Magazine: 97 Points
"This is only our fifth Languedoc-Roussillon red wine to find itself in the Best in Show selection, and the first from the cru of Corbières-Boutenac. The blend of this dark black-red wine, typically for Corbières as a whole, is 40 per cent Carignan with 30 per cent Syrah, 20 per cent Mourvèdre and 10 per cent Grenache, and it’s a successful one. From first sniff, you can gauge the wine’s unusual complexity: sweet, beguiling but far-from-simple fruit offset by the herbs-and-stone austerity of the rangy Mediterranean wilderness in which it comes into being. There’s soft liquorice, too, and a touch of tart asperity which again evokes the place itself. The flavour gives you a deep plunge into that wilderness; Languedoc’s best wines are never easy drinking. Spend time with the wine, though, and you’ll find it rewarding and complex: a great though quietly spoken gastronomic red from a multi-millennial vineyard biotope." - 97 points (Review date: June 2025)
"Dense, meaty aromas, with savoury notes of herbs and sap. There's smoke, black fruit and herb-encrusted seared meat. It's spicy, long and explosive. Flinty, graphite, power and intensity. The mouthfeel is spherical, filling out and then cleansing the palate with fresh acidity. A very well-made wine that's tactile and structured. Fermented with indigenous yeasts, aged for 10 months, 50% in stainless steel and 50% in demi-muids and barrels." - 95 points (Review date: June 2024)
