"The Estate's Prestige Cuvée"

Made from 80% Syrah, this rich and harmonious wine reveals all the power of the Languedoc. Its refined nose evokes black fruits and wild berries, violets, and black olives, with lovely woody, smoky, balsamic, and forest floor notes. On the palate, it is complex, concentrated, full-bodied, and spicy. A truly beautiful expression of the Pic!
