Tasting notes:
Nose Intense aromas of dark fruits (blackberry, cherry) are followed by wonderfully melting notes of « garrigue », strengthening the freshness of this 2021 vintage.
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. It sounds like 2020 vintage in a softness way … Mourvèdre and Carignan lend great finesse to this classy and elegant wine.
Tips on service
Decant 2 hours before and serve at around 15°. The wine keeps beautifully, but is also perfectly accessible now.
