Bright ruby red color. The nose is fine and elegant with notes of red currant and cherry-type fruit. The palate is very well balanced with a nice attack, tannins are discrete and melted. Notes of currants, cherries, cassis with a minty edge appear in the middle palate. The liveliness allows to keep the aromas of this wine with great complexity of this vintage 2014.

Terroir
Red, iron-rich clay and limestone scree. The combination of altitude, cooler air and a wide range of temperature between day and night make for optimum expression of the Pinot Noir vines grown in the upper Limoux valley. For this grape variety, it is undoubtedly the best terroir in Languedoc-Roussillon.
