3.4/5 (5 customers)

This flagship cuvée is crafted from century-old vines growing on land entirely shaped by human hands. This southern red wine offers lovely notes of red and black fruits, enhanced by roasted notes. The palate is dense, with generous body and powerful tannins refined by time. A mineral touch provides a beautiful balance, allowing the spicy notes to resonate in a long finish. A true expression of the terroir!

Review by Mr. GREGORY D. Published on January 3, 2020

2013 vintage, drunk in late 2019. Superb aromas of red fruit and a very pleasant and surprising velvety texture
