Cérès
A dainty pale pink wine with a deliciously fruity nose that offer floral notes, exotic fruit such as mango and pink grapefruit, but also vine peach, aniseed and freshly picked mint. In the mouth it is round, vibrant and vinous, with wild strawberry and orchard fruit evolving to a lovely finish of Roussillon apricot, mint, and aniseed.
A delightful appellation rose with superb complexity and magnificent concentration for enjoying all year round.
