Villa Blanche
Very intense colour veering towards violet. The 2017 vintage is in the same vein as 2016, with powerful black fruit aromas such as blackcurrant and blackberry, and also notes of spice, of garrigue, underwood and truffle. Smooth and opulent in the mouth, full of ripe fruit reminiscent of fig and blackberry with a lovely vanilla and toasted finish. This very moreish wine with its magnificent tannins and fine balance encapsulates all the power of the southern sun in your glass.
