This cuvée opens with aromas of redcurrant and black cherry, before giving way to a full-bodied palate with mellow tannins. Perfect balance and a long finish.

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.
