“From vineyards touching the seashore, the maritime breezes seem to have contributed an extra crispness and a touch of sea salt. Floral notes, white stone fruit and dried hay aromatics lead on to crunchy red berries, cherries and juicy white stone fruit. Wild hedgerow acidity, gentle textured chalkiness, saline minerality and more vibrant red fruit. Fabulous concentration and ripeness with a lasting finish that combines pretty fruit with austere minerality.”

“A beautifully composed wine boasting perfumed, waxy, white floral aromas through layers of fruit, oak and acidity. There’s fresh fruitiness up front with crisp white pears and sweet, spiced apple compote, alongside honeyed florals, giving ripe, silky smoothness and an elegant purity of fruit. The oak is very subtly present, creating a richness and creaminess, and then the freshness kicks in. Full of perfumed Sorrento lemons, crunchy green apples, saline citrus acidity, firm minerality and some bitter almond oaky phenolics on the finish. Beautiful length, with a combination of precision and opulent charm.”

“Pretty floral aromas are backed by fresh citrus and pomelo notes with a touch of candied fennel seeds. On the palate, behind the austere, slightly chalky white fruit, there is a darker, intense, perfumed raspberry, cherry and concentrated blackcurrant fruit which gives weight. It finishes with an almost inky-dark minerality - shouting out La Londe terroir and the Mourvèdre coming forward. Concentrated with fresh linear elegance and a hit of salinity and blood orange on the finish. This hot vintage had slightly more fruit from Clos Mireille.”

“Very pale, creamy pink. The restrained floral notes of this wine's youth have developed into more evident perfumed Sorrento lemon and orange blossom aromas, a characteristic also found in the Romassan rosé. On the palate, the fruit has developed a creamy soft richness, with white saline-mineral freshness and a long salted lemon tang. As the wine opens up there are notes of ripe, dark redcurrant and sour cherries and bitter almonds with a hint of sweet hazelnuts. Lovely fullness of fruit and great intensity, with a gorgeous lacy elegance and vibrancy.”

“Creamy ripe red fruit, floral notes and garrigue aromas, showing similarity to Domaines Ott’s Château de Selle 2021. On the palate there’s juicy cherries, raspberries, crunchy red apples and wild berries, not fruit driven but intense, silky and waxy, leading to mouthwatering acidity with firm saline mineral notes and some black fruit (from the Mourvèdre) coming through on the finish. Lovely weight, texture and intensity with plenty of suggestions of more fruit to follow as the wine opens up. Still youthful, needs time to open up a little more.”
