Tasting Notes

The vines’age (over 70 years) and its terroir of hillside from clay-sandy grounds make of Les Perrières the flagship of our wines. The regularity due to the low yields and our involvement on this terroir offer a basket full of red berries on a bed of straight but charming tannins. « When decanted, this wine suggests its full dimension, tasty (note of clafoutis) with a vibrant chalky frame. Great wine
