Our tasting notes: A deep red colour verging on garnet. A powerful nose of concentrated ripe fruit, mocha and spices. The palate is round and elegant with hints of liquorice leading to a long, fresh and spicy finish.

On the high karst plateau of Larzac, France’s largest causse where man has managed to remain unobtrusive, life is synonymous with the great outdoors. The numerous paths criss-crossing it, including the drailles (sheep tracks) carved out over time by transhumant herds, offer an extraordinary terrain for exploration where infinite possibilities and splendid solitude become synonymous with freedom. The mind is free to wander before these ruin-like rocks that dot these vast open spaces, where the ‘angel’s hair’ drifts in the breeze.
