Villa Blanche
A brilliant cherry red colour. The nose is deliciously fruity with dark cherry, redcurrant, pomegranate, blackcurrant, and spices such as white pepper and cinnamon. Crisp, clean, and fresh in the mouth with fine tannins whose excellent structure ensures great length. A festival of citrus and red fruit opens the ball, joined by quince jelly, and discreet notes of paprika. This 2022 vintage offers us a sublime Pinot Noir, with poise, superb balance, and undeniable personality for this northern grape in southern climes.
