"The nose offers a complex bouquet of ripe red fruits and dark berries, accented with spices and smoky notes. On the palate, it displays density and a lovely tannic structure that has allowed the wine to achieve harmony and fullness. It has a lovely, long finish with notes of fruit and licorice." (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2014 - Gault Millau)

Great precision and finesse in the winemaking and aging processes; a very smooth and flavorful wine that appeals to a wide audience.

The Dalmeran estate, located in the heart of Les Baux-de-Provence, also owns a beautiful vineyard in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and offers a remarkable range of wines with strong character that deserve to be better known.
