After a dry winter, with the soil mineralising under the best possible conditions, the early spring was marked by frosts which had a severe impact on the Côtes du Rhône vineyards. Despite this, the terroirs of Maison Sinnae were relatively spared, which enabled the vegetative cycle to get underway with average earliness. The rather rainy spring gave rise to abundant flowering. This produced fresh, taut rosés, powerful, tannic reds and an exceptional white vintage.

Reviews
"A fruity Cotes-du-Rhone with cherries, cassis and notes of sweet spices on the nose, following through to a medium body with velvety tannins. Round and juicy with a clean finish. Drink now."
"A composition of Grenache Noir, Syrah, Carignan, Cinsault, and Mourvèdre with a fruit-forward character. Bright black cherry and rhubarb are seasoned with basil and oregano. Juicy and fleshy, with keen acidity and dry, dusty cedar tannins."
