Domaine Magellan - Le Fruit Défendu 2017
Languedoc
Red
Sold individually
Drink or Keep
Le Fruit Défendu is the estate's little delicacy, developing fruity notes of blackberry and blackcurrant on the nose. A soft, fruity wine, with slightly peppery and spicy accents, and a delicate hint of bay leaf. A wine for pleasure and conviviality!
