"A dazzling vintage"

“No fewer than fifteen plots go into the blend of this breathtaking Rasteau, drawn from the appellation’s various terroirs. A surprising tapestry of aromas rises from the glass, evoking the region: black berry compote, praline, tonka bean, rosemary, humus, fern… On the palate, this is a full-bodied, smooth wine, edged with velvety tannins, whose flavors of raspberry and garrigue linger in a long finish with a refreshing hint of bitterness. Vibrant.” (Le Guide Hachette 2027)
