Technical sheet PDFTasting notes
Grenache expresses itself fully here: exuberant red fruit and round tannins, while Syrah and Cinsault bring structure and elegance. The 2018 vintage, with its exceptional weather conditions, makes it a wine for sharing, to be enjoyed relatively young to make the most of the power and freshness of the fruit.
Food pairings
Red meats, charcuterie.
