"The bright cherry-red color of this 2012 hints at freshness. In fact, the wine reveals itself to be fruity from start to finish, supple and invigorating on the palate, buoyed by fine acidity." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2015). A round, ample and delicate wine, with notes of black fruit and cherry, beautifully structured on the palate, but which is above all a soft, supple wine. Lots of pleasure ahead!
