"Big, with lots of ripe cherry and raspberry notes offset by a hot, stony edge. Juicy finish. Drink now." Wine spectator April 05. Réserve Les Merises 2003 - 86 pts.

"Saignee. Cette cuvee de rose joue la tendance du bois que l'on ressent plus particulierement au nez qu'en bouche. C'est plein avec un joli fruit en bouche, et cela ne manque pas de vinosite"
La Revue du Vin de France jui-août 2004

"...strong character...Val-Joanis rosé is one of the best rosés in the South."
