PIC-SAINT-LOUP
A wine of a lovely ruby red colour and a nose that always surprises with its sappy, laurel, garrigue, juniper and graphite aromas that are unusual for a red wine from our region as they resemble those of a very mineral white wine. It is an exceptionally taut wine with a solid backbone, with fine, elegant, diaphanous tannins of great refinement. Opening on notes of black pepper, rosemary, and clove, it develops blackberry and eucalyptus in a soaring finish. It is a unique wine that only increases in complexity with cellaring, and whose fans continue to grow each year…
