From the Grower
"Dark red with violet hues, the nose is fine and delicate with aromas of raspberries, blackcurrants, Liquorice, violets and leather. The palate has generous fruit with a nice underlying freshness, good tannins and a long and elegant finish."

something
Didier Barral, a man of conviction, began running the estate in 1990, in search of authentic expressions of its soil. Helped by his brother Jean-Luc, this obstinate winemaker has created a trend to respect the ecosystem, to promote interactions between the plant and animals and enhance immunity of the vine.
