"The natural expression of Pic Saint-Loup
"Complex, fresh and harmonious, its spicy character is counterbalanced by notes of black fruit (blackberry). Fleshy, balanced, without heaviness, the whole has plenty of character." (Bettane + Desseauve En Magnum october 2024).

About the wine:
Young red color with purplish highlights. Precise nose of red fruit, combining redcurrant, cherry and a background of garrigue. On the palate, a structured wine, delivering the same aromatic quality. The finish is firm, well supported by sufficient freshness.
