Award: Gold Medal Concours Général Agricole Paris 2012
Cuvée Maxime comes from old Carignan vines that have imbued power and a touch of spice to this wine, which stands out for its supple mouthfeel, silky tannins and beautiful amplitude. A wine to fall in love with, which above all benefits from a fantastic price/pleasure ratio!

Pleasant nose of spices and liquorice. Slightly acidic finish. Correct for a table wine.

One of my worst disappointments, three bottles out of six were undrinkable because they were totally "vinegary". I'll never buy this wine again. JJW
