94 points – Decanter
“The much-awarded Dame Jeanne – a zero-oak prestige cuvèe – is always a great buy and a genuinely ageworthy wine from the Pic. The 20120 is drinking superbly. The 2018 is dazzlingly aromatic with classic Pic citrus-grove Syrah notes: the palate is dense and rich yet fresh and aromatic, too. Drink 2021-2028.”- Andrew Jeffords, Decanter
Andrew Jeffords On Bergerie du Capucin -“Pic St Loup Name to Know”
“Guilhem Viau is one of the Pic St-Loup’s most talented winemakers, working with 15ha of vines in Lauret and Valfaunès, the heartland of the zone. He quickly grasped, as many of the Pic’s avant-garde have since done, that too much small-oak aging can suffocate the magnificently scented Syrah notes that are possible here; all of his cuvèes marry aromatic finesse with fine textures and sumptuous fruit.”- Decanter
