Drinking Window: 2017 - 2018
Owned by Bernard Magrez, this property is located halfway between Nice and Aix-en-Provence, in Le Luc. The vines here are planted on south facing limestone terraces. The grapes are fermented at a low temperature in concrete tanks to retain freshness, then aged on the lees which gives a rounded, creamy profile. On the palate, red fruit dominates alongside a spicy acidity. There is a creamy note on the mid-palate, and a slightly bitter note develops on the finish.
