Overview

The first nose is intense, rich and generous. Raspberry and strawberry aromas blend with vanilla and pepper notes. The 2nd nose is more refined, presenting a lovely bouquet of freshly picked violets, accompanied by the spicy freshness of cloves.

On the palate, the attack is round, the mouth is silky and the finish finely powdery with notes of cocoa. The wine’s freshness is reminiscent of the garrigue, with notes of boxwood, thyme, rosemary and sage. The fruit is concentrated and intense, reminiscent of red fruit marmalade lightly spiced with the smoky paprika typical of Cabernet Franc. The finish is long, with a gourmand finish on berry aromas.
