Note: Bettane & Desseauve 14.5/20
“The nose is dense, smoky, and very ripe, with hints of black olives. The texture on the palate is compact, still tight with powerful tannins. ” (The Bettane & Desseauve Guide to French Wines 2014). A full-bodied and creamy Rasteau with harmonious fruit and excellent balance. A real success!

with notes of small red berries (blackcurrant, violet, blackberry) and licorice, developing after a few years of aging into aromas of stone fruits (prune) and leather
Palate
