92 points Wine Spectator: "[$77 list] A burst of fragrant violet and dried lavender introduces this layered, fresh red. Shows textural complexity, with finely hewn tannins that will go the distance in the cellar; try to resist the urge to drink this now. There’s beautiful purity to the fruit, detailed with singed sage, thyme and rosemary. Mourvèdre, Grenache, Cinsault and Carignan. Best from 2027 through 2038. (2/9/26)"

Producer notes: "In 2020 Mrs Lucie Peyraud, better known as Lulu, passed away soon after the harvest, at the age of 103. She joined her husband Lucien in ‘Winemakers’ Paradise.’ To express our gratitude to these renowned persons of the domain (and the region), the family has decided to rename our basic «Classic» cuvée: 'Lulu & Lucien' upon release of the 2020 red wines. This name will no doubt live on in the years to come. We wish you a pleasant discovery of this new label, an energetic and consistent wine that resembles its namesakes. Long live the memory of Lulu and Lucien!"
