Produced from a selection of specific plots, this cuvée reveals an intense bouquet with hints of fresh blackcurrant liqueur and licorice. It is a full-bodied, round wine with noticeable yet silky tannins... A truly "sunny" wine!

Rated estate (2023 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one would expect from its appellation(s))

About the estate:

Marrenon is one of France's most sophisticated cooperatives. It brings together nine wineries, no less than 7,600 hectares of vineyards, and has bottled more than 85% of the Luberon's annual production for 40 years. This is a remarkable feat in terms of quality, as evidenced by a very diverse and comprehensive range of wines. These wines are deliciously fruity, without losing sight of their terroir of origin.

A rich wine but very short, with little character. Disappointing.
