Clear ruby with a purple edge - it looks young and it drinks fresh. The palate manages weight and movement at the same time: plenty of body, juicy the whole way, and a crisp bite to the palate that keeps it lively. The finish carries a faint roasted note that adds length without heaviness.

The fruit for this wine comes off the La Livinière limestone.
