A word from the winemaker

• Deep, brilliant, deep garnet color with purple highlights.
• The charming and delicate nose evokes ripe berries: raspberries, redcurrants, blackberries and the surrounding scrubland. For the journey, a touch of Madagascar vanilla and pepper from the peaks...
• The palate is silky, smooth, classic and refined.
• A typical vintage of the Pic Saint Loup appellation, generous and ample.
