Tasting notes

Colour
Dark garnet with deep ruby hues.
Nose
Spicy and complex, with scents of faded rose and iris.
Palate
Fleshy, with fine tannins; lingering notes of spice and black fruit, sometimes very ripe wild strawberry, and a mineral touch.

For this cuvée with no added sulphites, indigenous yeasts carried out their successive transformations to achieve a long, calm and stylish vinification, allowing the wine to fully express its terroir. This authentic cuvée is fragile: please handle it with the greatest care!
