Le Figaro Vin tasting note:A refined, bewitching bouquet that blends the sweetness of ripe black fruit with the mineral freshness of the foreshore, enhanced by a subtle, sappy touch reminiscent of crushed rosemary stem. The palate is a supple, airy caress, like a lullaby sung in a soft, melodious voice. The fruit, pure and supple, gradually gains in intensity, propelled by a vibrant saline framework, before a long, gourmand, delectable finish that blends fruit and flowers. “
