Our oenologists' opinion
Fruity and well-rounded
The straightforward, distinctive nose reveals aromas of herbs, blackcurrant coulis, spices and roasted red fruit, before delicately opening up to floral notes of violet and peony, adding a lovely complexity.
The supple attack, supported by roundness and fine balance, reveals a frank, greedy character.
The medium body, without heaviness, gives way to finesse and a fluid, elegant palate.
Good persistence prolongs the pleasure with a fruity, floral structure.
A seductive, precise wine, both supple and vibrant.

Features
Body ? The body is the way a wine feels inside the mouth. Several factors, such as the alcohol content and the presence of tannins, contribute to the feel of the wine.
Freshness ? The freshness of a wine is defined by its level of acidity. Unlike rounded wines, fresh wines are easy to drink, and are more lively. Acidity plays a necessary part in a wine's structure.
Aging ? All wines do not have the same aging potential. Some are supposed to be consumed at a young age while others must be kept for longer periods of time.
Tannins ? Coming from stems, grape pips and their storage barrels, the tannin gives structure to red wines only.
