"Impressive, showing lots of juicy plum, currant and boysenberry fruit with nice hints of
garrigue, tar and liquorice. There's plenty of toast on the finish but also solid minerality" 91/100 SMART BUY (

"The Côtes du Rhône-Villages Séguret Grande Réserve is a blend of Grenache and Syrah only, from the estate’s oldest vines, some of which are 60 years old. The wine is aged 40 percent in barrel (one-quarter of which is new) for 9 months before moving back to vat to finish its élevage. It’s darker and more powerful that the Tradition, with lots of tobacco and garrigue notes.” “The '05s, which I tasted at the domaine, are probably the best yet." (James Molesworth, Wine

“The 2005 Séguret Grande Réserve is stunning, inky bluish/purple to the rim, with a beautiful nose of crème de cassis, liquorice, a touch of pepper, and roasted meats. It is dense, full-bodied, moderately tannic, and will benefit from 2-3 years of cellaring and keep for 12-15 years. It is an ambitious and brilliant Côtes du Rhône.” 91+/100 (Parker)
“Dark robe, violet gleam, young. A touch of wildness on the nose with stony, mineral and smoky accents. The palate unveils a complex personality, an ample, generous wine, both full and tannic. A “terroir” to discover." 89/100 (Gilbert & Gaillard's Guide des Vins 2009)
