Tasting notes:
Les 4 cépages, a perfect paradox
Aged on French oak for a year before bottling, this blend consists of four grape varieties, each of which reveals its own aromas on contact with the wood. The result is a whole host of complex, mellow notes ranging from fruity flavours and oaky vanilla to yellow peaches and tropical fruit. Together, they create a wine with good complexity and structure, in which the mellow oak is discreet.
Storage:
Should be stored upright, in a cool dark place. Will keep for 4 to 5 years.
