Cerimonial
Vespro

Ritual of blending for this cuvée Vespro in which the Cabernet Sauvignon freshness lively combines with the silkiness and the spicies of Syrah. Structured, complex, with delicate and well fused tannins, Vespro will charm lovers of « southern » wines in which the guarrigue aromas immediately remind us our amazing Alpilles.

  • Tasting

    The brilliant color is an intense red. The nose initially expresses itself on subtly stewed red fruits, cherries and blackberries; to then deliver aromas of olive and garrigue. The attack on the palate is delicious, both fresh and fragrant, the power then arrives with the "peppery" of the Syrah and its silky finesse to finish on a surprising roundness and length on the palate. A powerful, fresh wine with a slight hint of acidity that will make Vespro a wine both accessible from a young age and a wine for laying down.
