"Superb value for money for this subtle cuvée".
This Pinot Noir has fine floral, raspberry and anise notes, complemented by a certain salinity. The palate is juicy but balanced by tones of undergrowth and clove. Subtle tension between acidity and fine tannins, with good length.

A very pleasant wine, you can taste the Pinot Noir grape with the sunshine of southern wines. I give it 5 stars for value for money.
