Pézenas
Deep intense garnet red in colour. A powerful nose packed with fruit such as fresh fig, crushed strawberry and blackberry, followed by notes of truffle, humous and also spices such as white pepper. Superbly balanced in the mouth, which opens incisively, with nicely chiselled tannins. We find the same fruity, spicy notes, accompanied by a light and agreeable sensation of salinity. We have, for a number of years, wanted to produce a wine from this terroir, and here it is at last, in the form of our new cuvee “Entre Amis”.
