success story

"S for Septentrionale and M for Méridionale, a fascinating wine to discover!"

"The nose is marked by blackcurrant and blue fruits, with notes of flowers and wafers. It is full-bodied with silky tannins. Rich with dark chocolate and black berries on the palate. Concentrated and peppery finish." (James Suckling 2023).
