    This red wine from the Cairanne appellation has a beautiful intense ruby ​​color. On the nose, it offers a rich aromatic palette, with notes of cocoa, cooked fruit, garrigue and Sichuan pepper. The attack on the palate is fleshy and intense, the patinated tannins highlighting the velvety aromas of cocoa and liquorice. The finish is silky and persistent, leaving a pleasant memory in the mouth.
