RED R 2006
Decanter World Wine Awards 2009, Silver Medal. - “The R cuvee was much appreciated. In a very Provencal style, its mature cabernets are enhanced by spicy notes brought by the syrah. A nice classic of the appellation. […] Splendid color, dense, and full. Expressive nose of garrigue, open and harmonious. Nice and full matter, with a beautiful intensity in the mouth. Full body and length in the final note. Full and intense character.” 15/20 Ranked 24th wine among the elite red wines from Provence. La Revue du vin de France, April 2009

Nose: begins to open on grilled, praline, subtly woody notes. Palate: tender, sweet, ample with a solid and regular tannin structure. Final: a particular wine from an aromatic point of view, fullness and balance, still far from revealing its full potential.” ***A quality wine to keep in sight. Guide des vins de Provence 2008-2009 - “Freshness and power, great length, on dark fruit notes: within the magnificent 2006 vintage, this red is a real accomplishment. A very complete wine, with a nice aging potential.” Les meilleurs vins de France 2010, RVF - “A straight-out red with crimson reflects colors this wine which nose is dominated by spices and black tobacco notes. We also find Provencal aromas of rosemary and black pepper. The palate is balanced and long with and elegant tannins structure.” Guide des Vins 2010, Official Selection by the Oenologists of France, 27th Vinalies Nationales - Côtes de Provence Cuvée Classique, 16/20 Le Guide des Vins 2010 Gault Millau
ROSE R 2009
“Darker than other rosés from this particular domains, and with some old-vine fruit. Creamy and balanced.*** The Decanter, July 2009, Margaret Rand - “Very nutty and the strangest smell of tinned tomatoes! Fresh and tastes distinctly of tomatoes. Provocative sting of acid. Subtle tannins and quite a lot of character. Probably a bit too quirky to suit everyone, but this grows on me. 15,5/20 www.jancisrobinson.com, September 23rd 2009, Tamlyn Currin, Provençal rosés
ESTATE ROSE 2008

Conclusion: a quality rosé, delicate and refined.”*** A quality wine to keep in sight… Guide des Vins de Provence 2008-2009 - Selected by the Rosé Research Center as a base for their Provence rosés color chart. - Selected by Harrods - “A pretty pale pink rose with a very delicate floral aromas and an elegant, refined palate showing gentle, candies red fruits. Predominantly Cinsault, Tibouren and a beneficial slug of Mourvèdre for structure.” Hennings, June 2009 - “Deep nose of wild strawberry. The palate confirm this first feeling, it is long and fresh. Rosé with barbecues and exotic meals.” Le grand guide des vins de France 2010, Bettane & Desseauve - “This estate, owned by the Wemyss family from Fife, is fast forging itself a reputation as the producer of some of the region’s finest rosé. Super pale in the glass, it has a delicate, nuanced, complete character. It’s difficult to find any fault. This is a class act, a wine one could simply drink all summer.” Scotland on Sunday, Will Lyons, 10th May 2009 - Rimauresq was recognized as a “key producer” in Provence in the September 2009 issue of Sommelier Journal/ Outstanding Recent Releases section. It was praised as a wine that “offers vivid notes of strawberry, lemon, Red Delicious apple, Asian pear, pomegranate, nectarine, hay bale and seashell. It is medium bodied and silky, with decadent, bright fruit at its velvety center, although tangy notes of lemon and grapefruit clamor for attention on the finish.” - Estate rosé 2008 awarded 86 points by the Wine Spectator, September 2009.
