Dark cherry and wild herbs surge from the glass with mineral-driven intensity. The sandy soils deliver violet-scented fruit while those famous stones add smoky depth and garrigue complexity. Creamy yet structured, with firm tannins and a spiced, peppery finish that lingers beautifully. Reynaud's masterful touch evident throughout.
