Tasting

Intense purple in colour, with aromas of cherry jam and rose, it also evokes the freshness of undergrowth. The attack is straightforward and structured, with a graininess that brings a touch of spice to the palate. With aeration, the finesse and velvety texture emerge, framed by lightly woody tannins. Then we bite into the grain of blackcurrants and small black fruits. This is a deep, powerful and complex wine, which is the signature of the house style.
