The 2008 are a very beautiful vintage on the rosé ones. 2007 are a superb vintage on the schistous part thus on the red Tradition. The 2006 are very well-balanced, the 2005 is more complex, but very nice on the vintage Terrasses de Fontenilles. The 2004 are exceptional on the Mathieu vintage and the 2003 are very hot and slightly alcooleux.
