Produced from a selection of plots, this cuvée reveals an intense nose, with nuances of fresh blackcurrant liqueur and licorice. It's an ample, round wine, with present but silky tannins... A true "solar" wine!

Expert opinion
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 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. An impressive feat of quality, as demonstrated by a highly diverse and comprehensive range. Deliciously fruity wines, without forgetting their terroir of origin.

Greedy but very short wine, with little character. A disappointment.
