The Press
“As readers have undoubtedly noted from previous reports on southern Rhones and best values, Domaine Les Grands Bois's proprietor, Marc Besnardeau, is at the top of his game, producing a bevy of wines that represents great value and over-delivers in every category. It seems like whatever Besnardeau fashions is well above its humbe pedigree and modest price. These 2009s and 2010s are the estate's finest effort since the brilliant 2007s.”—Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate 90 Points. ‘Outstanding. The Côtes du Rhône les Trois Soeurs offers a delicious mouthful of wine for a song. Its dense plum color is accompanied by notes of white chocolate, crushed berry fruit, earth and licorice...enormously satisfying.’ — Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate ‘It reveals a dark ruby/purple color, abundant notes of peppery sweet raspberries and cherries, medium body, excellent ripeness and plenty of provencal typicity’ — Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate ‘Excellent value here. ’ — The Wine Gang ‘This lovely blend of mostly grenache and syrah brims with brambly, peppery fruit and earthy, mineral notes. Very good at this price.’ — Andrew Neather, Evening Standard ‘The palate is liquid velvet with cherry, smoky notes and dense bramble fruits...at this everyday price you can feel safe in going long on this wine because it will never let you down.’ — Matthew Jukes, MoneyWeekOur tasting notes
