Tasting notes
There are glints of mauve and fuchsia in its colour. A light, fresh, well-fruited wine with immediate appeal. If its vivacity is due to the Gamay grapes, it is the Pinot grapes which lend it its mellow serenity.The attack is lively and strong on fruit.
It is fresh and fruity. Well-textured, it develops aromas of underbrush, game, and brandied cherries. It is very pleasant to drink in summer
