Minervois
Les Frères d’Armes
Purple-red robe with a very elegant nose, reminiscent of garrigue scrubland and freshly-turned earth. In the mouth it is clean and fruit-forward, with notes of blackberry and blackcurrant. Supple yet full-bodied, the tannins are well-rounded and integrated to give an elegant, well-balanced wine with good ageing potential.
