Jeb Dunnuck, July 2018 – 94
Tasted out of bottle, the inky colored 2016 Saint Chinian La Lauzeta comes from older vines and steeper, hillside parcels of primarily schist soils. Brought up all in barrel and a blend of Grenache and Syrah, this ripe, sexy beauty offers full-bodied aromas and flavors of crème de cassis, melted licorice, crushed rocks, and spice. Despite all the fruit and texture, it has solid underlying structure and loads of depth.
Coup de Cœur *** – Guide Hachette 2019
Long maceration and patient aging in barrels, it combines elegance and concentration. Intense and complex, on the nose it blends aromas of violets, spices, garrigue and roasting. The harmonious pleasure shines with its breadth, power and structure, underpinned by still firm tannins that call for aging.. 2021-2027
