3*Coup de Coeur

Hachette

“The Cuvée Bleue bears the unmistakable Barroubio signature in its complexity and the delicacy of its aromas: it is an extraordinary garden filled with heady notes of rose, hawthorn, and linden. Perfect balance, softness, and elegance; gentle, flowing lines; intensity and refinement; hints of apricot sorbet enlivened by a touch of mint: a rare harmony.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2018)
