Mulled black cherries, melted licorice, and peppery garrigue notes all emerge, a medium to full-bodied, rich, mouth-filling, Provençal Côtes du Rhône that has a charming, satisfying style.

Met dank ook aan oude stokken een compacte, aardse en grondstoffelijke rhône. Volop donker fruit, zwarte peper en dito olijven. Krachtig, kruidig en klassiek.

D'une grande douceur grâce à des tanins souples, dans un esprit "nature", il possède une belle matière profonde et dense avec un fruit charnu.
Good acidity, very fine tannins and quite voluminous, if not terribly concentrated. This has length and persistence, despite the fairly gentle concentration. Fresh and cleansing, well-balanced style.

Brooding, intense and attractive nose with black fruits and liquorice. Mouth-coating richness and a beautiful wild core of spice, liquorice, damson fruit. Finely tuned tannins give structure here.

Cardamom, wild strawberry, dried herbs and a dash of licorice highlight the spicy 2023 Les Quartz. A smoothly structured, full-bodied, it closes with a zesty blood orange kick on the juicy finish.
Full-bodied, concentrated, mouth-filling style. It's a significant step up over the 2021 and is rich, mouth-filling and beautifully balanced.

Co-fermented and matured in a mix of foudres and oak vats, it's a full-bodied wine, rich, velvety and perhaps a bit open-knit, with voluminous notes of black cherries and black olives.

It's medium to full-bodied, quite powerful yet silky-textured and immediately appealing. It should drink well for several more years.
