Sépia is elegant and fine, with a strong fruity character. Concentrated and well-balanced on the palate, with notes of licorice, violets and red berries, mingled with fine oak and long, silky tannins. A wine to savor!

Domaine rated (2023 guide) 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 wineries, no fewer than 7,600 hectares of vines and has been putting over 85% of 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.
