Tasting notes
The 2021 Les Cerisiers offers black currant and blueberry on the forward nose, plus just a touch of incense. The palate is medium-bodied, and smooth thanks to the oak, though there is sufficient fruit left behind. Drink over 2–3 years after bottling.

A medium-bodied red with fine tannins and a juicy finish. Savory and attractive.
Medium-bodied, round, soft, and forward, all the ripe, spicy plums and cherries with their licorice and espresso accents are already showing quite nicely. You can enjoy this with ease on release. Drink from 2023-2030. 89-91
The 2021 Les Cerisiers opens with a good burst of red/purplish fruit, sweet spice and flowers before losing some of that initial intensity. It's hard to look past the searing tannins. In 2021, Les Cerisiers isn't quite as fleshy or charming as it can be.
