PIC-SAINT-LOUP
A lovely ruby red with bright reflections and a strikingly expressive nose of pink grapefruit, small red berry fruit, peppermint, aniseed, dill, and wild sage which after airing reveals black pepper, notes of resin, laurel, and bitter orange. A palate of great tension, purity, and verticality. The tannins are smooth and less dry than usual. There is incredible amplitude in the mouth, with tangy red fruit such as arbutus, but also blueberry, ginger, and fresh peat before finishing on refined notes of dark chocolate. A wine with an elegance and personality that do honour to its altitude terroir worked according to biodynamic principles.
