3.5/5 (14 customers)

With its beautiful ruby-red color, the 2013 Aluzé has everything it takes to charm. First, there’s its rich, intense aroma of ripe red fruits, enhanced by balsamic notes and a hint of cherry. Its powerful, full-bodied palate opens with notes of strawberry jam, accompanied by pronounced tannins. The freshness of the schist soil provides a lovely balance. A wonderful discovery that will take you on a journey!
