Ideally matured and ennobled by an ageing process that respects the fruit, this wine expresses the charm of the best Syrahs of the Pic: admirable aromas and taste of blood orange, which are reminiscent of beautiful expressions of the variety in the Northern Rhône. Already very accessible, it will be difficult to resist waiting for more!
