Tasting Notes (Typical Vintage)

• Colour: A deep, alluring garnet with violet hues.
• Nose: A rich and layered bouquet of dark berries (mulberry, blackcurrant), spiced notes of sun-baked garrigue, cherry compote, a touch of vanilla, and white pepper.
• Palate: Fresh and well-defined on the entry, the wine shows remarkable balance. Its tannins are smooth and velvety, offering a substantial mouthfeel that leads to a persistent, enjoyable finish. A classy, full-bodied Rhône.

Serving Suggestion
