"Modern, fruit-expressive and beautifully fragrant, the wine shows dark plum, blueberry, floral, anise and almond characters on the nose. The palate is succulent and plump, displaying lovely fruit intensity and rounded mouthfeel, elegantly framed by polished tannins. It is immediately appealing with plenty of tasty flavours" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

"I’ve long been a fan of the Le Chat Noir range, I just think it gets a lot of things right. But in pure wine quality terms, this is the best wine I’ve seen under the label in a while. Here’s where $20 goes a long way. This is a pretty exciting release. It’s nutty, spicy, fruity, earthen and all-round characterful. It boasts a spread of fine-grained tannin, has quite excellent length, and does everything it can to reach beyond its station. This kind of character at this kind of price doesn’t pass the desk all that often" Campbell Mattinson, Wine Front

"This blend is a modern take on French tradition. The nose offers concentrated berry fruit. It's so smooth and full in the mouth that a bottle disappears with indecent haste. Easy drinking, yet with real personality" Ralph Kyte-Powell

"Le Chat Noir wines are imported into Australia exclusively by Fourth Wave Wine and somewhat of a gateway wine for many drinkers to French styles. Well made, varietal and keenly priced. Made by Hilde Chevillot according to the back label and Bernard Schurr according to the website. Oh well. Fruit from the Minervois AOC in the Languedoc-Roussillon wine region of southern France. Full and rich nose: with cola syrup, plums, dark raspberry jubes, plenty of spicy pepper and anise, earthy undertones and a lick of chocolate. Plenty on the palate to like: dark jubey fruits, keenly supplemented by garrigue herbs. Coarse (but not ugly) tannin and hearty warmth to close out the long tail. Great value" Regan Drew, Vino Notebook 

Pale pink in colour, sitting well within the classic Provence "pale and dry" spectrum. The nose is lifted and expressive with perfumed aromas of rose petals, strawberries and batch talc. The palate is well balanced and nicely jugded with a burst of light red berries, candied fruit drops and a hint of spice with an attractive crunchy texture before a soft, dry finish.

Fruit from the Gers region, in the centre of southern France provides a core of vibrant and expressive fruit with impressive depth whilst the high altitude, cool climate Aude Valley fruit provides lifted aromatics, savoury complexity and bright, fresh acidity.

2017 will be remembered through much of Europe (with a notable exception of Burgundy) as the smallest crop in over 30 years - down between 10-50% on previous years. Brutal Spring frosts decimated the vines before a hot and dry Summer further restricted yields. The quality outside the low yields was very good with ripe flavours and well balanced wines.

Completely whole bunch fermented with a short maceration (a few hours) sufficient to impart colour and texture. Following a soft pressing, the juice is given a cool fermentation in stainless steel and allowed to ferment to almost complete dryness. Maturation on lees in stainless steel adds texture and malolactic fermentation is prevented to ensure vibrancy.
