Character and style With a well-developed character, it is a wine of pleasure, with a certain elegance and a significant length. The nose is developed with all the freshness of red berries (blackcurrant, black cherry) and floral notes (peony) accompanying a bright purple dress. On the palate the wine is soft natural freshness elegance dominates but still a key slightly vanilla which surrounds a tender and ample flesh. The fruit is fully respected.
