14,5/20
Bettane & Desseauve
"Dark color, deep, dense nose of black fruits, the palate is creamy, solidly supported by an imposing tannic framework. A serious wine" (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France 2014). A red characterized by beautiful spicy notes on the nose and fullness on the palate, with a delicate mineral note, signature of the terroir. A must-try!
