Little known out of the area of the Cotes du Rhone, the red is elegant, has complexity and bouquets, deep ruby robe, and the woods and licorice developping aromas during aging, make it an excellent “vin de garde”. The white is smooth, fruity and fresh, and can “flavour” as well the aperitive as the dessert.
