Tasting Notes: A bouquet of garrigue, flowers of cistus, blackcurrant buds. A mouth full of freshness and balance, with aromas of cocoa and morello cherry, with a long and liquorice finish. In its youth, this vintage is perfect to pair with a shoulder of lamb slow roasted in oven, roast pigeon with porcini mushroom, and from its fifth year, stew, Daube Provencal, all game and many cheeses.
Winemaking: Harvesting is done by hand in 25 kg crates. After a double selection of the best bunches in the vineyard then on the sorting table.
