What reviewers say
“A blend of Grenache (70%), Cinsault (20%) and Syrah (10%). The cuvees age in vats and are bottled without any fining after filtering on pinkish soil. * Appearance: deep ruby * Nose: pronounced intensity, aromas of blackberry and plum, jammed, dark cherry and meat * Palate: dry, high acidity, medium tannins, high alcohol (14.5%) and full body. Pronounced flavours of dark fruit, leather and jammed fruit. Long finish. A very good red!”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where André Brunel Est-Ouest Côtes du Rhône lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · France (1,134 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 252.
