CÔTES DU RHÔNE Red « L’INTREPIDE » 2003 : 

« At the gates of Avignon, in the charming village of Jonquerettes, the Anglès family work the vines with respect. She wins a star for each of her Côtes-du-Rhône. This 2003 vintage, well balanced, powerful and aromatic, can wait three years in the cellar. The equally aromatic Cuvée de Voulongue Réserve red 2003 (5 to 8 €) is even more structured, coated with fine tannins. Finally, the 2004 white (5 to 8 €), 100% Viognier, in the same spirit of power, offers honeyed notes of hawthorn and acacia. »

CÔTES DU RHÔNE VILLAGES Red « COMTE D'UST ET DU SAINT-EMPIRE » 2003 :

« Smoking of rigor. A vintage from the Holy Empire is not to be taken lightly! As it is an almost thoroughbred syrah, the presentations are not too staid. Very intense deep ruby, lots of glycerol: the color seduces. To the kirsch is added a small wild perfume which announces a liberated character. The mouth confirms with its warmth and its leather notes. Make an appointment in a year or two. »
