Côtes du Roussillon Villages
Intense colour, veering towards garnet. The nose is powerful without a strong sensation of alcohol. It offers core black fruit such as blackberry and fig that typifies our Roussillon terroir, but also a peppery spiciness, with cinnamon and toasted notes. In the mouth it opens smoothly with well-integrated, supple tannins. Gorgeous aromatic complexity in a fine example of the best that the Roussillon has to offer. Great for drinking on its own or with food.
