Reviews and Ratings

This family has been making wine since the fifteenth century in the small village of Bagnoles. The vines grow in clay limestone soils. Finishes with notes of anise and morello cherry. The Minervois region features many small hills and great drainage and soil types. These regional wines are always blends of Mourvèdre, Syrah and Grenache grapes. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
