"This wine makes its entrance with a very dark, almost black color. It displays an intense nose dominated by black fruits and pepper. The palate is straightforward and well-structured; the youthfulness of the tannins is offset by a beautiful smoothness, and freshness comes through on the finish. This wine offers wonderful emotions and deserves to be decanted to open up even more. (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2016)

About wine:
A blend of Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre, the Pic Saint Loup Dame Jeanne 2013 is medium-bodied, nicely concentrated, and balanced. It offers aromas of raspberry, crushed rock, and a touch of licorice and earth. There is a beautiful purity of fruit and lovely depth on the palate.
