and is the work of Michel & Louis Bronzo

From vines averaging 45 years old planted in red silty clay soil over limestone base with a warmer west facing exposition

A wine of contrasting elements – equal measures of dark seductive plum fruit and lifted ethereal floral aromas combine to give an aroma profile that beguiles the senses and demands lengthy contemplation
