Owner's words
Purple brings out its floral palette: violet, lilac and rose petals. Then comes the red of summer fruit: strawberries, raspberries and juicy watermelon. Green comes in airy touches: rosemary, mint and blackcurrant buds, as if stolen from Sauvignon. In short, the nerve and the envelope. In one stroke, texture and tension. A sapid energy prolonged by a touch of salt, the signature echo of the limestone terroir.
