"Cuvée identitaire
This parcel-based cuvée reveals a cru with an original character of the exceptional clay-limestone terroir. The nose is marked by aromas of raspberry, redcurrant, morello cherry, black pepper. Luscious and intense on the palate, with silky tannins and complex notes of black fruit fruit and spice. The freshness on the finish lasts a long time and suggests good ageing potential. watch the video !
