Versant Sud, Les exceptions, AOP Luberon BIO, Rouge 2020
Presentation
The Luberon is a mountainous massif on which our vineyards stretch out according to various exposures, all along a string of villages with multiple facets. This cuvée comes from a selection of parcels located on the southern side of the Luberon. This cuvée shares the will of Marrenon's winegrowers to express the richness of their terroir in the respect of nature.
