Typical of the domaine's wines, it marries a juicy, unashamed depth of ripe red berry fruit with terroir notes of minerals and light smokiness. On the palate that energy from very delicate oak influence and ripe but refined tannins and acids gives beautiful mouthfeel and texture. This will cellar for a decade or more, but its balance and elegance mean it offers immediate gratification too.

Silky and juicy with aromas of rose hips, cherries, chocolate orange, lemons and a touch of cinnamon. Medium- to full-bodied with silky yet very present tannins. More weighty at the end. Drink or hold.

Aromas of fresh blackberries and newly plucked thyme are tossed in aromas of dried soil, mint and salt. The palate is pristine, with flavors of red cherry balanced by cooked rhubarb and blackberries. It is linear, with brisk acidity and fine tannins that coat the front palate.
