This wine is the perfect reflection of its terroir. A fresh, delicious little gem; drink this wine young or after a few years of aging.
More infoThis cuvée is very accessible from its earliest stages, with a nose featuring notes of raspberry, spices and leather. It is supple and concentrated on the palate, an incredibly pleasurable wine that can be consumed within four years or perhaps even a little longer, depending on the vintage. The blend is a reflection of the terroir and is therefore a combination a diverse grape varieties and soil types (schist, clay, limestone, marl). These terroir-driven wines are blended in concrete vats in order to preserve the freshness of the grapes.
