"Cuvée identitaire
Cette cuvée parcellaire révèle un cru au caractère original et complexe du terroir exceptionnel d'argilo-calcaire. Le nez est marqué par des arômes de framboise, groseille, griotte, poivre noir. Gourmande et intense, la bouche s'assoie sur des tanins soyeux, des notes complexes de fruits noirs et d'épices. La fraîcheur en finale donne une belle allonge et laisse présager un beau potentiel de garde. voir la vidéo !
