Beskrivelse:

John Iversen i Avisen.dk
"Lakrids og modne solbær i næsen. En utrolig lækker vin fra en fantastisk producent. At den kan købes til 89 kroner er helt uhørt. Køb rigeligt!"

Domaine Aphillanthes råder over ialt 37 ha. beliggende i det sydlige Cotes du Rhone delta.
Ejeren Daniel Boulle overtog domænet - som 4. generation - i 1986, hvorefter han straks iværksatte
renovering af kældre som vinmarker.

Vinene blev meget kendte i slutningen af 1990erne, da det amerikanske vinjournalist Robert Parker slog vejen forbi på en søndagstur, og skrev så siden hen om domænet: ("maybe the richest Cotes du Rhone I have tasted").
Idag er vinene blandt de bedste og mest kendte Cotes du Rhone Villages der kan opdrives.

I 2007 blev domænet certificeret biodynamisk (Biodivin) og organisk (Ecocert), både Daniel Boulle og hans ønolog Philippe Cambie (Vinmageren der mestrer flest 100 point vine i Chateauneuf du Pape) mener, at begge dele bør nævnes.


Robert Parker udtalte sig således om domænet:
"Daniel Boulle, has quickly emerged as one of the most serious Cotes du Rhone producers"


Robert Parker i The Wine Advocate
"The dark-colored 2004 Cotes du Rhone-Villages Cuvee du Cros reveals lovely black currant, sweet cherry, licorice, and smoky notes, medium to full body, loads of flavor, and sweet, silky tannin."

Noter om årgang 2001

Robert Parker i The Wine Advocate 145 Feb 2003
"The 100% Syrah cuvee, the 2001 Cuvee du Cros smells like a southern Rhone Cote Rotie with its smoky, bacon fat/lard notes intermixed with scents of caramel, vanilla, and blackberry liqueur. Dense, chewy, monolithic, and more internationally-styled than its siblings, this full-bodied, impressive, low acid Syrah will drink well for 7-8 years.
As evidenced by these tasting notes as well as those from the 2000s and 1999s, this is an extraordinary offering, bottled without fining or filtration. It is among the most exciting wines being produced from any of the Cotes du Rhone appellations.
This estate, located in the village of Travaillan, and run by perfectionist Daniel Boulle, has quickly emerged as one of the most serious Cotes du Rhone producers. This offering is an ageworthy, super-concentrated example of what can be accomplished by a passionate, highly committed producer. Drink 2003 - 2011."
