Producer

Vignobles Darriet

A mellow wine with fresh redcurrants, blackberries and cooked fruits with vanilla aromas. It is smooth and elegant on the palate with a fine-layered texture leading to some graininess on the finish. It is harmoniously balanced with dark fruit and smoke flavours. Drinking nicely now, it has the potential for some cellaring. Vines are cultivated on a gravel slope facing south close to the town of Cadillac. It was matured for 24 months in one-year-old oak barrels.
