Minervois
Les Frères d’Armes
The colour is an intense crimson with purple hints. A powerful nose marked by a strong personality with notes of scrubland and humus. In the mouth it is powerful but with a soft finish. Notes of ripe fruits, prunes and dried figs cover the taste buds after the first mouthful.
