Villa Blanche
A glimmering, cherry red wine. The nose is very fruity in this vintage with cherry, pomegranate and small red berries, as always, but also touches of leather and spices. The mouth is fresh and supple with harmonious and subtle Pinot Noir tannins paving the way to a beautifully taut finish. Classic notes of red fruit are complemented by lightly spicy notes in this wine that asserts its origins in a majestic expression of what this northern variety has to offer.
