2020 Richette by Patric Lesec


 Very good Côtes du Rhône. 2016 was great, 2020 is almost as good. Complex nose and taste, with fruits and spices.

Was great with sous-vide duck breasts.

2016 Arcane la Papesse



 A masterpiece. A mix of fruits and berries in the nose and taste. Noticeable taste of citrus. A bit of spices. Perfectly balanced. Great aftertaste. Even thogh it has 15% alcohol, it's soft and silky. Especially after aerator.

Enjoyed it immensely with baked rabbit.

2022 Châteaux Hyot


 Very good. Well balanced, with multiple fruits, including black and red currant.

Enjoyed it with salmon pizza.

2019 Pierron


 Didn't like it. Yes, it's Bordeaux. There is a bit of black currant in the nose and taste. But it's bland. Won't buy it again.
