(2012 Vintage Notes)

Light, delicious, and easy to enjoy, the Rouge Carmen cuvée is, above all, a wine that offers immediate pleasure through its fruitiness. A blend of Gamay, Grolleau, and Cabernet Franc, the estate seeks to highlight the fruit’s expression in a round and flavorful palate. This cuvée, which has already won over several prestigious Michelin-starred restaurants, is the perfect accompaniment to all your special moments with friends and family!
