Here is the list of awards received by our wines, having in mind that 2007 was our first vintage :
Lunatique red 2009 :
- 91 points on the Wine Spectator : "Ripe and mouthfilling, but also fresh, with delicious dark plum, blueberry, anise and tobacco character backed by a tarry edge. This really stretch out, with more mulled spice and dark cocoa flavors and a lingering roasted mesquite note on the finish. Offers lots of character. Drink now through 2013.—JM"
Mistral red 2009 :
- 90 points on the Wine Spectator : "Rich and smoky, with mouthfilling charcoal, roasted fig, tobacco and plum sauce notes all rolling through the broad finish. This has muscle, but stays accessible and balanced. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Roussanne. Drink now. 1,000 cases made. –JM"
- Gold Medal in Concours General Agricole of Paris
- Listed in Guide Hachette des Vins with two star
- Gold Medal at the Houston Rodeo International Wine Competition
Dentelle red 2009 :
- 87 points on the Wine Spectator : "Tasty, with black cherry, pepper and lavender notes and a gutsy, juicy finish that lets the pepper edge play out. Lovely regional character. Carignan and Grenache. Drink now. 1,000 cases made. –JM"
- Silver Medal in Concours General Agricole of Paris
Dentelle rosé 2009 :

Mistral red 2008 :
- 88 points on the Wine Spectator : "Forward and quite toasty, with mesquite, roasted plum and dark licorice notes laced with espresso and fruitcake hints. Ambitious, though a bit firm and raisined on the finish. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Roussanne. Drink now. 700 cases made. –JM"
- Listed in Guide Hachette des Vins with one star
Dentelle red 2008 :
- 86 points on the Wine Spectator : "Lavender and mesquite aromas gives way to additional spice notes weaving through the mulled black cherry fruit. The toasty finish is slightly firm, but there is good range here. Carignan and Grenache. Drink now. 800 cases made. –JM"
Mistral red 2007 :
- 91 points on the Wine Spectator : "This has impressive depth, with a very solid core of blackberry and macerated currant fruit, layered with dark, alluring toast, smoked applewood, tar, melted licorice and mineral. The long, muscular finish is round and integrated, but still needs some time to stretch out fully. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Roussanne. Drink now through 2011. 2,000 cases made. –JM"
