Cuvée Dame Jeanne - rouge 2009 AOC

A gentle, sweet encounter with woodland berries, the red hue of Dame Jeanne exalts the soft, fresh and delicate fragrances of our garrigue scrubland populated by green oaks. Created from the marriage of the three essential Pic Saint Loup grape varieties – Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre – this wine is the perfect accompaniment throughout a meal, from white meats to a chocolate dessert.
