Fresher on the nose than the 50/50, and the palate follows suit, still smoothly suave, it is very positive, insistent with a damson intensity. L&S (Nov 2010)

20-year-old Grenache, 20-year-old Syrah, 45-year-old Carignan. 50% barrels and 50% stainless-steel tanks. Healthy crimson. Sweet, gentle-textured, well-melded Languedoc blend with burgundian polish. Not a bad price at all. Much more sophisticated than the average Minervois. Very satisfying persistence. 14.5% Drink 2014-2018 Rating: 16.5 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Dec 2013)
'Smokiness on the nose carries through to a dry palate, which leads to a long finish.' & 'Rustic barnyard aromas, with prickly blackberry and cassis, as well as a mentol note. This has a warm finish with some fruit coming though.' Notes from two tasters.Imbibe.com (Jun 2012)
Domaine Anne Gros et Jean-Paul Tollot
Anne Gros and Jean-Paul Tollot (Domaine Tollot-Beaut) have taken over some wonderful vineyards in the Minervois, and brought Burgundian savoir-faire to an area which all too often produces sweet or leaden-footed lumpen wines. These wines have a style of lively freshness which is so uncommon anywhere in Languedoc-Roussillon. We were bowled over by their drinkability, and feel they offer so much in terms of character and flavour, while remaining easy to approach, mineral and light of touch.
