Dark-fruited, with fresh acidity and stony tannins, it’s about as versatile as reds come from the south of France.

This lovely Muscat is full of fresh honeysuckle and ripe citrus fruit.

Stony and smoky, and full of garrigue and black cherry, it is an epic wine that opens up wonderfully now.

It’s a gem, and you won’t be disappointed.

An abundance of violets and velvet, amid a cooling sensation of a cold spring on a hot day.
