The wine

A blend of Cinsault, Carignan, Grenache and Syrah aged in small foudres, this cuvée is blessed with very enticing aging potential. It has a precise and clean nose with fruity aromas and notes of coffee and chocolate. On the palate we find a fine juice, extensive and fruity. Open the bottle one hour before serving with duck aiguillettes and girolle mushrooms.
