Drink or Keep
Les Rièges is a 100% Marselan, planted in the heart of the Camargue Regional Park. Harvested at night when fully ripe, it produces a fresh, generous wine with aromas of red fruit, garrigue, violets and licorice. Juicy and energetic on the palate, with a supple, mellow tannic structure and a long, tobacco finish. An original cuvée, perfect with stewed dishes!
