Sépia is made from a selection of small plots of Syrah (70%) and Grenache on limestone terroirs in the Luberon. Concentrated, the nose is elegant and delicate, with aromas of red fruit, vanilla and cinnamon. The palate is powerful, full-bodied and flavorful, with notes of licorice, violets and red fruits, mingled with fine oak and long, silky tannins. A truly expressive wine!
