On the palate, it is ... a torrent of pure fruit, soft tannins and juicy acidity." This Bordeaux offers a deeply fruity wine thanks to its great portion of Merlot. With a deep purple colour, the nose offers generous notes of blackcurrant, black cherry and plum, mixed with a nice minty freshness. On the palate, it is just as generous: aromas of pure fruit, supple tannins and a juicy and very refreshing acidity.
