Note : 2**(Vin Remarquable) + Coup de Coeur au Guide Hachette 2009
"A wine full of charm and smoothness. The elegant nose reveals blackberry and blackcurrant aromas accompanied by a hint of menthol and spicy zest. The fleshy, well-structured palate remains in the same vein, with hints of dried fruit" (Guide Hachette des Vins 2009). An uncomplicated, all-round wine, seductive in its pleasant fruitiness and roundness. A low-priced pleasure to be enjoyed now...
