"Elegance is the defining characteristic of this wine, which was unanimouslychosen as the jury's favorite. Delicate and precise, the palate offers rich notes of blueberries and red berries, with a perfectly refreshing hint of minerality. Following the same theme, playing on crisp, subtle tannins and lovely acidity, the palate exudes fruit and suppleness, and is carried to the finish by a stimulating hint of bitterness. Precise, clean, and irresistibly delicious, this is an exemplary and energetic Minervois.”(Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2020) A fine representative of the appellation!
