Bruno has much pleasure from seeing the influence of Alice in the family Domaine, her contribution to the evolution in style of winemaking, packaging and streamlining of the business operations.

Tasting
True to Alice's Southern France Terroir, with good fruit expression, textured palates and beautiful length on the finish, this Grenache, Syrah & Cinsault blend - grown on mostly sandy soils, displays charming and complex aromas of garrigue, freshly crushed raspberries and earthy spices boasting all of the character traits of southern grape varieties along with interesting notes that are linked to its various terroirs of origin. The whole bursts with intoxicating aromas of potpourri and ripe cherries. The tannins are soft, giving it a lush and vibrant mouthfeel and a delicate finish that retains a sense of power.
Food pairings
Versatile, this wine is made to pair with food. Due to its spiciness, pure red fruits, fresh attributes and the myriad of different levels of depth and textures, this wine works well with a diverse array of food. Grenache and Cinsault pair magically with grilled and braised meats like beef, veal, pork, chicken and of course game.
