Bright ruby color, fruity nose with simple fruit flavors and a hint of chocolate. A pleasant little wine with unquestionable value for money.

Note and review by M. VINCENT L. Published on 09/07/2020
I don't want to speak in oenological terms and extol the many undeniable qualities of this red. But above all, it's a wine for pleasure, a wine that makes you happy. Isn't that its primary vocation?
