Shop Review:56 Ha grown organically since March 2009 (in conversion). Part of the vineyard is plowed with horses. Average age of the vines : 30 years old. Clear ruby wine with overtones of red berry fruits. Round and supple with smooth aftertaste. A good all round red wine for meat courses, poultry and light cheeses. Best drunk now while fresh with good keeping up to 4 years.

My Review:  I had this wine without food. It had hints of cherry and berries, it was acidic and had quite some bite. It was definitely a stronger wine that would be paired well with red meat.
