The 2016 Cuvèe Spéciale is a lovely showing from winemaker Yves Chéron. It opens to inviting aromas of black raspberries, plums, spices, pepper and olives all taking shape. The palate is medium-bodied, with a lovely round texture that displays beautiful poise. Flavors of black raspberries, spiced plums and peppery notes continue to expand through the juicy finish. A lovely Côtes du Rhône that will be accessible upon release and offer some short-term aging potential as well. (Best 2018-2022) - November, 2017 (JD)
