Terrasses du Larzac
A beautiful bright, ruby red. The first nose is fruity and spicy, delicate and refined. From the outset we sense that we are not in the presence of an exuberant wine, but a wine of altitude, freshness, and elegance. Then come aromas of red berry fruit, mint, dill, with floral undertones. The impression in the mouth is also one of immense delicacy, with silky, integrated tannins, and notes of white pepper, nutmeg and garrigue that intermingle with redcurrant, wild cherry and blackberry. A wine of great rectitude, with magnificent tension on the finish that offers a promise of superb evolution in the bottle.
