Presentation
Wines from Brulhois have been renowned since the 13th century and were even served at the table of King John Lackland. It was during this time that they earned their nickname “Black Wines,” in reference to their deeply intense ruby-red color.
This cuvée, Le Vin Noir, is the purest expression of Brulhois red wines-both through its depth of color and its power, as well as its understated and refined packaging, which reflects the distinctive hue of this unique and authentic wine.
