2020 Julien Barrot showcases the finesse and depth of this esteemed cuvée. On the nose, it offers a layered bouquet of mixed cherries and berries, floral hints of rose, Mediterranean garrigue, and touches of dark chocolate, nougat, and subtle tobacco. The palate is full-bodied yet elegant, with ripe plums, cassis, black cherries, and candied orange zest supported by silky, ripe tannins and a refined mineral backbone.
