Syrah and Grenache blend harmoniously in this intense, flavorful, complex cuvée, tinged with nuances of black fruit and tapenade. A Lubéron red that preserves a fine, taut mineral structure, but also great tannic finesse... Good ageing potential to boot!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
Marrenon is one of France's leading cooperatives. It brings together 9 caves, no fewer than 7,600 hectares of vines and has been putting over 85% of the Luberon's annual production under glass for 40 years. A feat of quality, as evidenced by a highly diverse and comprehensive range. Deliciously fruity wines, without forgetting their terroir of origin.
