Cellar/Tasting Notes
The Les Drazeys has a very nice dark ruby colour with an open and attractive nose, rather classic but complex and "unusual" at the same time. It has a well balanced structure on the palate with soft tannins, lively aromas, nice rhythm, and nice Côte de Nuits architecture. ..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A very subtle touch of wood frames very fresh and again, admirably pure aromas of acacia blossom, spiced pear and green apple nuances. There is good volume and mid-palate density to the generous, sappy and seductively textured middle weight flavors that offer fine complexity on the mildly austere..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The NV Brut Rose Esprit is surprisingly rich and intense. Even tasting it after the Fut de Chene, what comes through is a gorgeous, layered expression of fruit on an expansive, generous frame. Red berries, orange zest and sweet baking spices linger on the powerful close. The Brut Rose Esprit is..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A candidate for wine of the vintage, the 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape (a tank-aged blend of 90% Grenache and the rest Mourvedre, Syrah and Cinsault from 80+ year old vines) is a naked expression of Chateauneuf du Pape that is pure fruit and complexity. Its dense purple color is followed by aromas of..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
This red from Provence has great distinction, with subtle aromas and an extremely complex bouquet permeating through a deep ruby red color. Robust, rich in noble tannins, this wine has good aging potential.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"... Red berries, flowers and minerals are some of the nuances that are woven together in a rich, expansive fabric of notable class. This really needs some time in the glass to shine, but when the wine opens up it is absolutely glorious. A round, creamy finish has the last word..."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A powerfully ripe wine, with pure black currant flavors over soft, polished tannins. The wood balance is exemplary, offering just the right lift. Touches of cinnamon and vanilla give an extra dimension."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A highly expressive nose of ripe floral and pear aromas leads to round, rich and plump medium-bodied flavors that possess good mid-palate density and reasonable intensity on the mouth coating and ever-so-slightly warm finish. This is quite an opulent and lush effort that delivers very good if not..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A wine of great finesse, distinguished and elegant. The colour is pure and bright, with light glints of white gold. The aromas evoke trees in bloom and white flesh fruit, like white peaches. With age, the aromas evolve towards almond and lightly grilled dried fruit. On the palate, there is a..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"I can’t say enough about how beautifully classic, racy, and gracious the wines of Brane Cantenac have become over the last decade. The stunningly elegant 2006 exhibits a sweet, subtle smoke note intermixed with creme de cassis in its medium-bodied style with superb nobility, concentration, and..
