Description

The fruit of an atypical association of Bordeaux (Merlot) and Mediterranean (Mourvèdre and Marselan) grape varieties, this wine is an invitation to discover all the luscious richness of Languedoc reds.

Grape Varieties

Marselan, Merlot, Mourvèdre

Terroir

The Marselan and the Merlot, which prefer cool, deep soils, are planted on the recent alluvial deposits and loamy clay banks of the river Orbieu. The Mourvèdre is planted further away from the river, on sedimentary clay.

Tasting Note

A luminous ruby red. Notes of wild blackberry, cherry, spices, and liquorice on the nose. In the mouth it is full and generous with a well-balanced structure and elegant tannins.
