“This wine makes its entrance with a very dark, almost black color. It offers an intense nose dominated by black fruit and pepper. On the palate, it is straightforward and well-structured; the youthful tannins are balanced by a lovely smoothness, and freshness comes through on the finish. A truly delightful wine that deserves to be decanted to open up even further. ” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2016)

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