A true masterpiece of elegance that has nothing to envy to Burgundy Grand Crus. Balanced, light, layered, generous, this wine will impress by its poise and stature. Black cherries, raspberries, baking spices, liquorice roots, dried herbs and roasted meat are whirling on the tongue. A nod to Hitchcock classic. In the TOP 3 Carignan I have ever had and I choose my words carefully. Elected one of 2022’s best wines by NRC.
