Description

Deeply satisfying red from a historic vintage and highly skilled winemaker. Master of the Rhône André Roux has been a friend for decades. Thanks to our friendship, we've persuaded him to make special cuvées by appointment to you, like this top-vintage release.

Deep ruby red colour and seductive blackberry, dark cherry and wild herb aromas. Plenty of peppery black fruit, earthy, savoury notes and supple tannins. A red for hearty roasts.
