The tasting
Appearance: The wine’s orange colour comes from two weeks of maceration before six months of ageing in a demi-muid (a large, thick-walled, highly durable barrel used to transport wines and spirits). The wine is also bottled during the period of the Lune Rousse.
Nose: A very powerful wine on the nose, with pronounced aromas of herbal infusions and dried herbs.
Palate: Notes of rose come through on the palate. The wine is full-bodied and dry, with well-integrated tannins.
