In its beautiful ruby-red color, Aluzé 2014 has everything to charm. First and foremost, its greedy, intense nose of ripe red fruit, enhanced by balsamic notes and a touch of cherry. Its powerful, full-bodied palate opens with notes of strawberry jam and pronounced tannins. The freshness of the schist soil adds balance. A wonderful discovery that will take you on a journey!

Woody nose, extremely short on the palate. Poor value for money.
