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 fine, 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!

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.
