89pts Wine Advocate– 2018 vintage
“A tank-aged blend of roughly 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah (although there are fractions of Mourvèdre and Cinsault), the 2018 Côtes du Rhône le Temps Est Venu is sourced from Plan de
Dieu (two-thirds) and Visan (one-third). It’s spicy and leathery up front, then opens to reveal notes of ripe cherries and garrigue. It’s a solid effort, with silky tannins and a backbone of cranberryish
acidity that lingers on the finish.”
90pts James Suckling– 2018 vintage
“Very fresh aromas of violets, roses and mixed cherries here, leading to a palate that has a very smooth, sweetly fleshy core of ripe plums and cherries. So drinkable now.”
90pts Jeb Dunnuck– 2018 vintage
“The 2018 Côtes Du Rhône Le Temps Est Venue is a charmer, yet has more structure than plenty of wines in the vintage. Ripe raspberries, strawberries, and floral notes all flow to a medium bodied, elegant, lively red that’s already hard to resist. Drink it over the coming 4-5 years.”
