The vines, and the soil where they stand, need love and care to grow. Their vineyards fill them with a wave of deep, powerful emotions. This helps them obtain the desired results after all the effort and care they put into their work at the winery. They also give special attention to the environment, which has a major impact on the wines—the sun that rises every day, the bugs that live in the soil, the birds that nest in the pines, and even the poppies pollinated by bees.

Tasting
With a supple entry on the palate, it retains the freshness and intensity of ripe fruit already perceived on the nose, a controlled but present power, a good tannic structure and a medium body; it's a tasty wine that invites you to continue; it offers a fine balance between sweetness and acidity, a just and successful greediness. This taste profile is rounded off by spicy notes of undergrowth plants, well-integrated fresh wood and light peppery notes.
Food pairings
Baked meats / Roast lamb / Herbed lamb.
