92 points Vinous"Orange oils, cranberries, sage and hints of smoke waft up from the 2020 Rosso Concrete. It rushes the palate with masses of mineral-tinged, cherry-berry fruits, motivated by zesty acids that create an almost-crunchy feel toward the close...

92 points John Gilman, View from the Cellar"The 2020 Coteaux du Loir “l’Effraie” bottling from Domaine de Bellivière is fairly similar statistically to the les Rosiers, as the wine finished up its fermentation with sixteen grams...
