Villa Blanche
A wine of purple red hue with brilliant reflections and an opulent nose of kirsch, elderberry flowers and mint, finishing on chocolate and cinnamon. A seductive first palate with smooth, ripe, and silky tannins and aromas of yellow plum and dark fruit such as elderberry and blackcurrant, leading to virginia tobacco, mocha and a very elegant finish that mingles liquorice, toasted bread, black pepper, and grilled notes. It also has a certain touch of minerality. A Malbec for afficionados that respects the characteristics of this grape but also expresses all the singularity of its origins.
