Domain rated (guide 2020) Awarded wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the wine:
A deep red color with violet highlights dresses this cuvée born of syrah, cabernet-sauvignon, mourvèdre, grenache and carignan. The nose reveals fragrances of raspberry, violet and spices. A straightforward attack introduces a full, round palate, with smooth tannins and a pretty, slightly peppery finish.
About the domain :
In 2013, Albéric Philipon took over the estate from a family of winegrowers who were retiring. The vineyard is located in Cotignac, in the heart of Provence Verte, and covers 18 ha. In addition, the family has leased 12 ha in a neighboring village since 2017. All our vines are grown organically.
