Presse / Kritik
J. Livingstone-Learmonth: 4 / 6 Sterne (Leading 2016 Hermitage Reds)
"Dark robe. There is intensity, thickness on the nose, blackberry fruits piled deeply, mulberry also, licorice – it has a sweet tenor. The palate is broad, rich and fluid, based on red fruits, again sweetness present, lozenge time. The tannins are squeezy, dense, give a couch to the second half. The fruit has some brightness that helps it along. This has a thorough, fat style, is concentrated from its low yield. It’s like 2014 but more structured, rich. There’s late fresh lining and tannin rockiness. It isn’t as full all through as it seems on the surface – its “plenitude” or fullness is from low yields more than a solar vintage, so it isn’t completely thorough in effect. 50% destemmed. From 2021-22. 2034-36"

Das Weingut
Zitat J. Livingstone-Learmonth: "One of the few small domaines with vineyards in plum, central sites at Hermitage. Generally traditional outlook. Attempts have been made since the late 1990s to work the vineyards more naturally. Winemaking has become more consistent. The red Hermitage Le Gréal can be very good indeed, a true child of the hill, and is indeed mighty in vintages such as 2010, 2015 and 2017. The Hermitage Les Rocoules white is an STGT (Soil to Glass Transfer)  wine. The white Crozes-Hermitage is a cracker, made from 1945 vines, and the epitomy of traditional white Rhône from the happy marriage of Marsanne and Roussanne. This, too is STGT, and has been excellent in 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016."
