Villa Blanche
A brilliant, garnet red wine. The nose is notable for the unexpected aromas of this grape variety: the fruit of redcurrant, pomegranate, and fresh strawberry, but also spices such as white pepper and laurel. In the mouth it is gloriously diaphanous, fruity and fresh at the same time, with notes of blackcurrant and blueberry, mango, papaya and peppermint, and fine, smooth tannins. This grape produces easy-drinking wines for everyday, and the 2023 vintage, with its rather wet spring, suited it perfectly. This is a wine that we enjoy bringing out quite simply with a plate of charcuterie, or a barbecue, and the company of friends. May be served lightly chilled.
