"A striking vintage that will fill your heart with berries and joy!"

A surprising wine that seamlessly blends density and finesse. The freshness provided by notes of herbs, white pepper, and balsamic vinegar harmonizes with depth and complexity. A lovely wine best enjoyed after decanting.

About the estate:

Hervé Bizeul, a winemaker and maverick writer, has little left to prove, as his estate ranks among the elite of Roussillon. Yet this does not stop him from constantly challenging himself, exploring new avenues, innovating, thinking outside the box, and creating new vintages. A prime example is his Pinot Noir, which came out of nowhere and bravely withstands the harsh sun and the Tramontane winds of the Agly Valley. Here, each cuvée displays a personality all its own, sometimes uncompromising, just like its winemaker. From no fewer than seven different terroirs emerges a serious and diverse interpretation of Roussillon. A model of its kind.
