Les Jardins 2019
A fresh and intense nose, characterized by black fruits such as blackberries and cassis and a hint of liquorice. On the palate, the wine is both soft and juicy and shows a discreet, slightly peppery tannin structure and crisp acidity on the finish. A pleasure wine and table wine that perfectly matches with grilled meat, vegetable casserole and hard cheese.
