A vintage with a brilliant garnet-red color, revealing a delicious nose of ripe black berries and sweet spices. This elegant, well-balanced wine, with toasty tannins, is smooth on the palate, with juicy, concentrated fruit. Beautiful structure and excellent ageing potential.

Vintage 2019 :

This brilliant garnet-red cuvée is dominated by fruity blackberry and black cherry aromas, with spicy notes. Pleasantly structured on the palate, this wine combines charm and liveliness, with a long, fresh, spicy finish. This well-balanced cuvée is the perfect accompaniment to guinea fowl stuffed with porcini mushrooms or a creamy, characterful cheese. Good ageing potential.

Vintage 2018:

This garnet-red vintage offers a bouquet of black fruit with blueberry and cherry aromas, evolving towards toasty, spicy pepper notes.
