"A proud representative of the terroirs of the Massif d'Uchaux"

“A slight herbaceous note on the nose, and a certain freshness on the palate. Pronounced acidity. I like the wine’s energy, acidity, and intensity; it has a certain mineral core. A surprisingly long finish. Tight, juicy, not very concentrated, but it conveys energy and freshness.” (Decanter 2024)
