Les Grands crus du Languedoc et du Roussillon:
"delicious, friendly and generous white with a big percentage of Terret."
Grands Vins Languedoc Roussillon :
"a traditional thirst-quenching white..."
Guide des Vins des Sommeliers :
"A dense wine from the Midi, France's deep central south, thirst-quenchingly rich and fine! (17/20). A surprising blend from old vines... a wine with wonderfully complex aromas."
Parker des vins de France et du Monde :
"This blend of white grapes has a subtle creaminess, displays notes of honey, flowers, resin and herbs (put otherwise: of the garrigue), juicy apricot, zest of lemon, dark spices"
