The wines at this small estate have become more intense in recent years but still maintain the elegant touch that fans have come to expect from Jean-Marie Royer. He attributes this extra richness to the fact that with the exception of 2008, "the recent years made riper wines unavoidable." These are fine-grained wines that will appeal to those looking for Chateauneufs of finesse and red fruit but I suspect that those looking for bruising, broad-shouldered wines will find the Royer offerings too light for their taste, even those from years like '10, '09 and '07.
