2014 Chêne Bleu Héloïse

Description

94 Jeb Dunnuck
“The 2014 Vaucluse Heloise brings more up-front ripeness than the 2013, with a perfumed bouquet of red and black berries, smoked meat, bay leaf, peppery garrigue, and leather. Beautiful on the palate as well, it’s medium to full-bodied, has a lively, round mouthfeel, still present tannins, and a great finish. This is a heck of an effort in 2014, and it’s drinking fabulous well today.”

91 Wine Spectator
“A suave, savory red, with steeped plum and warm licorice flavors that start off open-knit and round but build in intensity, as incense, charred alder and sage emerge toward the salty finish. Gains a nervy frame from silky tannins, in spite of the wine’s age. Syrah, Grenache and Roussanne.”
