“Light, bright gold. Sexy, expansive aromas of fresh orchard and pit fruits … Finishes very long, smooth and spicy, displaying lingering floral and pear notes. I'd confidently pour this side-by-side with some big-name Condrieus.”

“Dark ruby. Highly fragrant, smoke-accented aromas of ripe black and blue fruits, licorice and violet … This expressive, intensely flavored wine finishes with powerful thrust, harmonious tannins and outstanding persistence.”

“Saturated ruby. An assertively perfumed bouquet evokes ripe black and blue fruits, along with hints of licorice, violet pastille and peppery spices. Sweet, palate-staining cassis and boysenberry flavors become spicier as the wine opens up...”

“… gives up beautiful raspberry, strawberry and floral characteristics to go with a layered, textured, seamless style on the palate. The winemaking here is just first rate, and both of these Roses are flat out outstanding.”

“A fabulous effort that has finesse, elegance and texture … perfumed notes of rose petals, framboise and strawberries. This seamless beauty can be enjoyed on its own, but it will pair beautifully with any number of dishes as well.”
Chêne Bleu
Abélard, Vin de Pays du Vaucluse – 2009
A very deep ruby. Abélard’s rich brooding character lifts from the glass, displaying ripe blackberry, clove, licorice and black pepper. It is rich, concentrated, spicy and silky with blackberry and morello cherry flavors.
Chêne Bleu
Viognier, IGP Vaucluse – 2013
A brilliant, reflective golden yellow and pale green. The nose is intense with aromas of stone fruit (peach, pear, dried apricot) and notes of brioche. It is very smooth on the palate, balancing fruit and freshness, with a long, crisp finish.

“The fruit stands up to the wood, sweetly ripe and floral, supported by a waxy breadth that suggests the wine has the power to incorporate that oak with another six to ten years in the cellar.”

“This red blends 60 percent syrah with grenache and viognier, aged 11 months in oak. It’s a spicy, earthy wine, with scents of cedar and mushrooms over tangy red fruit. The flavors last, fully mature yet still vibrant. Pour it with a leg of lamb …”

"Gorgeous, with alluring Cavaillon melon, Bosc pear and makrut lime notes forming the core, while a suave toasted brioche edge runs underneath. The finish picks up bright fennel and mirabelle plum accents for added range and contrast.”

"Honeyed and just a little nutty, with apricot and a touch oxidative in an attractive way. Light oak spice but very much in the background. Deep, and tastes of gold. Gentle acidity but doesn't lack freshness – this is real Rhône white."

"Lifted aroma of very small dark berries – like elderberry but not as wild. There's a slightly bloody and meaty quality to this as well, with time a touch of leather. Really savoury and dark on the palate, the tannins super-fine and dry like a fine…”

“Deep crimson. Red-fruited and sweet smelling but also an unexpected hint of non-sweet strawberry and orange. Ripe and a little chewy in texture rather than in flavour, and even with all the depth of fruit there is still a rocky character.”

"...the 2014 Rose offers lively notes of strawberries and assorted red berry fruit, flowers and a touch of spice to go with a medium-bodied, seamless, silky feel on the palate. One of the most elegant, seamless rosés tasted for this report..."

"This is a very pale rosé from a relatively high elevation site, so it shows ample crispness and elegance. Delicate aromas of herbs and citrus lead into flavors of peach and lime, with a bit of wet stone on the long, refreshing finish."

“… sharply focused on the palate, offering intense red berry and orange pith flavors and a deeper suggestion of nectarine. Fleshy, expansive and seamless on the penetrating finish, which emphatically echoes the red fruit and mineral notes.”

“Blood orange and raspberry notes cling tenaciously on the lucid, mineral-driven finish. This concentrated wine really outperforms its appellation.”
