91/100 Simon Field | Ballet-pump color, well-worn, sandstone. Then the nose, which is softly herbal: fennel, anise in the distance, maybe a touch of cinnamon. Firm phenolic structure with vestigial orange and lemon pith, figs, and echoes from the kitchen garden. Food-friendly and robust, without losing the charm that must lift all rosé wines from […]
90/100 Simon Field | Light onion-skin color, watery at the rim; a refined and still rather closed nose. Petrichor, slate, and hints of earthenware pots; roses and spring flowers somewhere in the background. The palate has just a hint of caramelized evolution beyond the strawberry and green figs; cobnuts and rosehip all enveloped by a […]
90/100 Simon Field | Onion-skin color, quite viscous at its watery rim. Nose of charcuterie and figs, herbs, too, and somewhere in the distance, damask roses and plum skin. On the palate, there is both concentration and depth, the umami notes conspiring with the savory texture without failing to align themselves with the shards of […]
90/100 Simon Field | Delicate coral, viscosity at the meniscus betraying rigor of intent. The nose is precocious yet expressive, hints of fennel and blackcurrant leaf, citrus fruit. Plenty of matière; wild strawberries evoke Bergman’s refrain, orange peel and nutmeg; the complexity of a scherzo. Resolution promised over the next two to three years. Quite […]
Highly Commended
91/100 Editor’s Choice With grapes grown in the limestone soil of the Aix-en-Provence vineyards, the wine is lightly mineral and well textured. Its red fruits and touches of pepper are balanced by the freshness of this rounded wine. Drink from late 2022. ROGER VOSS
Médaille d’Or
89/100 Lightly herbal, the wine is perfumed with green fruits as well as red currants. It is a crisp wine, rounded out with spice and acidity in balanced measure. Drink from late 2022. ROGER VOSS
16/20 Un Pic-Saint-Loup version « déjeuner sur l’herbe », tout en jeunesse, en rondeur et en fruit, tout en maintenant la typicité de l’AOC avec sa syrah pimpante, ses senteurs de garrigue et sa minéralité. Le grenache pour son velouté et le cinsault pour sa fluidité complètent le tableau. Une présence réjouissante en bouche.
This wine is light rose gold. The nose is aromatic on pomelo and peach. A little smokiness appears. It seems tangy. On the attack, there is slight sweetness accompanied by notes of peach, apricot blossom and small sour cherry. It’s fresh. The finish is discreet. 15/20
