2017 Pinot Noir, Villa des Croix, Vin de Pays

Tasting Notes

"Bright red colour with blue reflection. The aromas evoke red fruits notes (wild strawberry) followed by menthol, grilled and smoke sensations. The mouth is well-balanced between acidity and structure. The finish is aromatic with fine tannins."


Vineyard Information

They have signed long term contracts with growers and all the wines are vinified by Claude and come from vineyards located on specially selected “terroirs” producing characteristic varietals from the region. When not making wine Claude perfors his duties as Professor of Oenolgy at Montpellier University.
