Seen as a diamond by the winemaker, Petit Verdot here delivers a grainy, full-bodied palate that enchants you with its velvety texture. The intense aromas of blueberry and coffee are very powerful, reminding us that a tiny proportion of this grape variety is enough to boost a great wine. Watch your taste buds!
