(Notes from the 2011 vintage)

Le Loup du Pic Rouge is born in the foothills of Pic Saint-Loup, bathed in a very sunny Mediterranean climate. It reveals aromas of very ripe red fruits enhanced by a hint of cocoa. The palate is full-bodied and generous, with smooth tannins and a finish of red fruit notes. A delicious and indulgent introduction to the world of Puech-Haut!
