Background
The clay and limestone soil produces classic grapes from the Saint Verand region. Jean-Paul vinifies this wine one-third in old oak barrels to add richness and body and two-thirds in stainless-steel tanks to retain freshness and liveliness.
Tasting Notes
This is a rich wine that exhibits white flower aromas, especially acacia with hints of licorice. The palate has a pleasant structure with good balance between fruit and mineral flavors. Notice the pleasing finish.
