15,5/20
Bettane & Desseauve
Right from the nose, this is a wine of character, with notes of ripe fruit, bergamot and citrus zest. On the palate, it is dense and full-bodied, chewy, almost tannic. Fruity and seductive notes intertwine to give body while remaining easily digestible. This cuvée is sure to tantalize your taste buds!
