Tasting notes:
Nose Intense aromas of dark cherry and savage blackberry. Black forest flavours exalte toasted coffee notes. Delicate melted notes of fresh thyme appear in second nose
Mouth The palate is soft, fresh and well-balanced The three grape varieties, each one perfectly adapted to our site, combine beautifully to create a wine with a strong and individual personality. A solar vintage where Carignan takes up more space and brings all his tension.
Tips on service
Decant 2 hours before and serve at around 15°.
The wine keeps beautifully, but is also perfectly accessible now.
