Héloïse, Vin de Pays du Vaucluse – 2009 – 94 points – eRobertParker.com
94 points
“Possessing a lit bit of a Cote Rotie-like bouquet of sweet raspberry, peach pit, violets, vanilla bean and mint, the 2009 Heloise is gorgeous and seamless on the palate, with medium to full-bodied richness, ultra-fine tannin structure and a light, graceful and elegant texture that carries through the finish. Made from 60% Syrah, 36% Grenache and 4% Viognier, all of which spent 18 months in barrel, it’s already drinking beautifully, and while I see no reason to delay gratification, this beauty will have 10-15 years of longevity.”
