This blend of 70% Syrah and 30% Grenache reveals a complex, harmonious nose of lavender, garrigue, blackcurrant and a touch of black pepper. The palate is impressively extracted, full and round, with concentrated aromas of jammy black and red fruits and a bouquet of garrigue notes. A concentrate of Languedoc flavors!
