"Excellent value for money for such a fine rosé wine!"

This blend of Grenache (60%), Cinsault (20%) and Syrah (20%) bursts with complex aromas: red and white fruits combine with floral notes. Over time, these fruity aromas will evolve into more mellow notes, with hints of spices and stone fruits. It displays all its aromas from the first year, but has exceptional aging potential.
