Sous les étoiles 2022: Delicate with a mineral dimension and the harmony often achieved by the estate's wines. The address is under new ownership, but the location is one of the appellation's great terroirs.
91/100
A l'Envi 2021: The revelation of our tasting, this small estate is run like a garden by a family of enthusiasts, organic and biodynamic, from a vineyard planted in a remote and magnificent location, surrounded by woods. This intense and flavorful Ventoux displays a natural expression and aromatic frankness made possible by a low presence of SO2. It has that little something extra, undoubtedly specific to the deep sand and clay soils of its sector.

​A l'Envi 2020: Signed Plaisir, this cuvée is pure juice of blackcurrant, blueberry, black cherry on a background of spices and scrubland. the palate is sensual and delicious with beautiful fatty tannins and a slightly fresh finish
A first star for this very young domaine with this wine whose name is an invitation to "celebration and friendship". Black fruits, pepper and subtle woody notes: the nose is in any case an invitation to pleasure. This is confirmed by the round, ample palate, open to spices and vanilla, endowed with fine tannins and enhanced by a fresh finish that stretches to liquorice. A little more marked in the mouth, the oak will soon melt.

Isabelle and Etienne care for their land, their community and their clients. They never take the easy way out. They drive change to foster sustainable agriculture. And they craft wonderful, exciting and honest wines. Such growers should be encouraged and celebrated.
Score of 14,5/20
A nose of oranges. Full-bodied and fleshy, voluminous with fat tannins, it will evolve serenely with its pleasant silky texture and ripe fruit. Pleasant salinity on the finish. More information on this document
In review n°651 - The Tour de France of Pleasure Wines : score of 87/100.
Between fruit and flower, this pretty fragrance precedes a supple and rich mouth coming from grapes harvested at high maturity but well balanced.
With love
At the foothills of the Mont Ventoux, Isabelle and Etienne took over this micro-domain two years ago, which is run in organic and biodynamic farming. With passion, they produce two vintages, including this one, which is 95% Syrah. The violet and blackcurrant enhanced with a hint of vanilla are entwined in the mouth. A beautiful discovery that will delight lovers of red wines bursting with fruit and concerned about their environment. Bras dessus, Bras dessous 2017
