Notes presse & récompenses
Andreas Larsson
92/100
Medium deep ruby red colour. Pure and fragrant on the red fruity side with raspberry, red currant, fine oak and butterscotch notes. The palate shows a dense structure with finely rounded extract, digest and supple with elegant red berry notes, mild spice and a long velvety finish.
Yves Beck - Beckustator
92-93/100
A superb bouquet that links ripe and refreshing notes. Without a shadow of hesitation, the wine announces greatness and complexity. The black fruit notes create a symbiosis with hints of garrigue, synonymous with freshness. On the palate, it is above all the chalky character of the limestone that stands out. The wine combines power and sapidity. Luscious on the palate, it is carried by compact tannins and an incisive structure. 2026-2042
Robert Parker
89-91/100
An attractive wine, the 2022 Roc de Calon exhibits aromas of dark berries, sweet cherries, lilac and pencil lead. Medium to full bodied, enveloping and round, its a serious wine with powdery tannins and a long, fleshy finish.
INFOS
Presentation
Vinified for 4 generations, from great-grandfather to great-grandson, this wine is the very essence of our estate. Luscious, fruity and powerful, it can be adapted to any occasion. A wine for every table...
The vintage
The 2022 vintage is an exceptional one, perhaps the vintage of the century. Our vines have shown incredible resilience in the face of record drought and high temperatures, producing dense, concentrated, fresh and fruity red wines. This surprising vintage could well surpass previous ones and leave an indelible mark on the history of our vineyards.
