Fleshy, clean, finely tannic and honest without being structured.

Nice deep color bell pepper higher acid no oak influence a little thin. classic for a french wine. Absolutely nothing wrong - it's a good wine it just isn't our style.

Lovely. Dried herbs and rose petals on the nose, nicely balanced tannins from the fruit; a bit of earth, no oak.
