The best vintage we have tasted of this unoaked wine. You only have to smell it to wonder at its source, as it delivers a fascinating, lifted melange of cassis, herbs and hot stones. Vibrant black and redcurrants, so alive, with fine tannins. The fruit lingers on the finish delightfully, leaving echoes of blackberry jelly.  Now-2012

Guy and Genevieve make a perfectly contrasting couple: he is tall, thin, balding, and wholly relaxed and laid-back; she, on the other hand, is short, well-covered, and distinctly feisty.

We have added their Faugères rosé this year, a really expressive example, with generous fruit and exciting minerality.

As for the reds, Les Léonides is an unoaked blend of more or less equal parts of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Carignan: this is a wine with entrancing perfume and character, superb in the 2007 vintage. Well-oaked, Les Orionides is based on 55% Syrah with Mourvèdre, Grenache and Carignan.
