Tasting notes
Moderately saturated light-medium red. Medicinal red cherry, mint and herbs on the nose, plus an earthy nuance. Juicy flavors of red berries and flowers are firmed by sound acidity. Tangy but on the lean side and a bit shrill on the finish. This lively wine should be very flexible at the dinner table.

Healthy fresh red. Deeper on the nose than the Clos des Myglands, offering scents of red berries, spices and flowers. A step up in cut and inner-mouth aromatic character, offering lovely white-soil lift and minerality. Finishes firm and brisk. I tasted a pre-bottling sample, as the wine was bottled on the afternoon of my visit.
