Tasting

by Véronique Boss-Drouhin

Finesse and depth characterize this wine. Beautiful red colour with raspberry hues. The bouquet is particularly elegant, with notes of wild berries. In the mouth, the wine is fleshy, with a good structure. Long and aromatic sensation in the aftertaste.

Vintage

2020 is a nice vintage which provided wines of nice intense colours. The nose and the palate are characterized by black fruits such as blackberry, cherry, mingling with liquorice and spices. The wines are rich and dense, which can offer a good ageing potential to some appellations.
