"The wood is quite marked at the moment with lots of spice and some orange notes, but also peaches and black plums. The palate has a very rich, spicy and elegant feel with intense, long and bold fruit flavors and an attractive richness on the finish. Drink over the next six years." (James Suckling 2019)

Soft and greedy on the attack, with a dominant of fresh fruit, becomes more complex with the melting of the wood, which blends with notes of leather and black olive, a rich, silky whole.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
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.
