Wild aromatics of candied fruit and garrigue leap from the glass, showing the estate's signature intensity. La Crau vineyard delivers palate-staining power with perfumed cherry and mineral depth, while Pointu offers crystalline red fruit precision. Grandes Serres adds smoky weight and chewy structure. La Crau's commanding presence overshadows the others completely.
