91 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2017 Constance comes from a mix of Syrah and Grenache that was completely destemmed and brought up in tank. It’s another beautiful wine from this great winemaker and offers lots of black raspberries, garrigue, dried flowers, and savory earth and mineral aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied, textured, and beautifully balanced, drink it any time over the coming 5-6 years (it will probably keep longer). Drink: 2019-2025 (7/11/19)"

91 points Joe Czerwinski (Wine Advocate): "[$42 list] It's hard to believe a Roussillon estate's entry-level wine can be this good. The 2017 Cuvee Constance shows some of Carignan's greenish side, but in this case, it just adds a bit of freshness and lift to the aromas of raspberries while bringing in hints of roses and tea leaves. It's medium to full-bodied with silky but firm tannins that suggest a few years of agreeability, plus plenty of length on the finish. Drink: 2019-2025. (Apr 2019)"

91 points James Suckling: "A fresh, vivid red from Roussillon with crushed berries and light chocolate, as well as orange peel and lemon. Medium body, fine tannins and a clean finish. Grenache and carignan. Drink or hold. (12/22/19)"
