Domaine de Fontenille, AOP Luberon – Cuvée Fontenille Rouge

Presentation of Domaine de Fontenille, AOP Luberon- Cuvée Fontenille Rouge

The organic Cuvée Fontenille Rouge from Domaine de Fontenille is an AOP Luberon red wine with lovely ripe, juicy fruit that coats the palate. To share with friends! What character! The nose is a clever mix between notes of stewed, well-developed black cherries and the spices of a beautiful Syrah from the sunniest plots. Very intense and seductive, these notes are the promise of a complex palate. The attack confirms the promise with deliciousness, roundness and concentration. A lovely substance with new notes of black fruit, then giving way to freshness and variation.
