The winemaker’s comment

• Deep, bright colour. Explosive nose of black olives and blackberry. Full, generous palate, unctuous and velvety.

A milestone wine for me : my first sulphite-free Pic Saint-Loup, Grenache-led and bursting with fruit, lifted by the energy of hard-limestone terroir.

Food pairing

• A natural partner for braised beef, enhancing its richness with generous fruit.
