Surprenant (rouge très clair) mais excellent... et sans presque aucun sulfite

Rubis fonce
Nez de coulis de fruit rouge et noir
Bouche fraiche mais gourmande avec une rondeur en fin de bouche liée à la maturité
Peu d alcool
Vin sur le fruit avec peu de complexité aromatique

Opens up nicely on day 2. Relatively light for 14.5%. Fresh, dark red fruit.

A bit of effervescence coming out of the bottle, but it's still young and this may correct itself. Very light and quite fruity for a Rhone. Not what I expected but a pleasant and versatile wine.
