Villa Blanche
Cherry red in aspect with a seductively fruity nose packed with cherries, redcurrant and spice. In the mouth it is pure, fresh and clean with notes of citrus and red fruit and refined tannins whose structure offer this wine exceptional persistence. A superb Pinot Noir with great style, excellent balance and immense personality in 2017, for this northern grape variety in a southern territory.
