"The intensity of the color is matched by the intensity of the nose, open to red fruits, menthol and a wilder, animal note. On the palate, the wine is round and fat, with a fine acidity that gives it dynamism and length". (Le Guide Hachette 2024)

Expert opinion
Decanter
Wine rated (guide 2023) 96/100
About the wine:
A lively, inspiring fragrance, enhanced by a refreshing freshness, that expands and swells to a long, haunting finish. An assault on the senses!
Guide Hachette des vins
Wine rated (guide 2024) 1*Star (Very successful wine)
Domaine noté (guide 2022) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the wine:
The intensity of the color is matched by that of the nose, open to red fruits, menthol and a wilder, animal note. On the palate, the wine is round and fat, with a fine acidity that gives it dynamism and length.
About the domain :
A computer scientist and Parisian in a previous life, Guy Salmona turned to winegrowing in Fronton when he bought this estate. In 2009, he began converting his 45 ha of vines to organic farming (which is now complete). A sure bet in the Fronton region.
