"Elegant and refined
Éveil 2021 is a beautiful garnet-red color, with notes of sweet spices and sunny red fruits. Its delicate, elegant nose exhales intoxicating aromas. Balance and finesse predominate in this refined wine, made from the estate's oldest plots.

At the helm is Audrey Bonnet, an agricultural engineer and former director of Cave de la Peira, supported by Claude Gros, a renowned consultant oenologist.

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 21/03/2024
The bouquet of this TDL surprises with its intense aromas of tart red and black fruits, enhanced by spicy and licorice notes. The palate is full-bodied and full-bodied, with graphite accents, a fine structure and straight, slightly harsh tannins, resulting in a well-balanced whole, without heaviness of style. The finish is persistent, muscular and firm. Let it breathe a little. Good R. Q/P. This youthful TDL awakened our taste buds with a sauté of Lozère lamb with black olives and rosemary, enhanced by a pinch of Espelette pepper. Score = 3.9.
