"Big sister of the Constance vintage".
"A blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 20% Carignan, Les Dentelles 2017 offers notes of mint tea, cracked pepper and ripe cherries on the nose. On the palate, it's crisp and fresh, marrying bright red fruits with notes of fresh herbs on one end of the spectrum and dark chocolate on the other." (Wine Advocate 2019 - Joe Czerwinski)
