"The natural expression of Pic Saint-Loup"
"Complex, fresh, and harmonious, its spicy character is balanced by notes of black fruit (blackberry). Full-bodied, balanced, and light, this wine has a lot of character." (Bettane + Desseauve En Magnum October 2024).

Rated wine (2024 guide) Double Gold Medal
About wine:
A youthful red color with purple highlights. A precise nose of red fruits, combining redcurrant and cherry with a background of garrigue. On the palate, this is a structured wine, delivering the same aromatic quality. The finish is firm, well supported by sufficient freshness.

Everything went well in the summer. It was very good, it won't go bad, what a shame.
