French red wines
The cradle of world enology, the reference point for every producer and consumer. For over 200 years France has been the world leader in the production of high-end wines. Our research is based on years of tastings and visits to producers in the main production areas. Burgundy is certainly the most important among these and at this time the most sought after in the world by both collectors and simple enthusiasts. But France is full of surprises even in areas less known to the international public; the wines of the Cote du Rhone are fantastic, often based on Syrah and Grenache, with spicy notes and great ease of drinking. The Languedoc Roussillion, with simple and fruity wines, perfect for any occasion and with an excellent quality-price ratio. Finally, perhaps the area with the most history and tradition, Bordeaux, with opulent wines, of great texture and enormous aging potential!
New Syrah and Cinsault vines for a wine of great freshness and pure pleasure. Also to drink fresh and perfect to accompany aperitifs and simple dishes.
Opaque, perfumed with fragrant black cherry, cassis and spice. Full bodied, intense with countless layers of flavour including blackcurrant, cedar and graphite. Dense fruit on the palate is bound by a structure of fine grained tannins and a lively acidity. This wine shows great depth and character and yet is refined with a long, elegant finish.

Elegant, complex and fine nose. At the beginning it develops aromas of black fruits, to which are added subtle notes of blueberry, graphite, toasted wood and spices. The wine demonstrates balance, fruit, sweetness, gluttony and precision in the mouth, offering a nice tension.
Dark purple or ruby, often centered around raspberries, cherries, licorice, sometimes purple wine. Taste frank and decisive, pleasant tannins when ripe, full-bodied but without excess. This vineyard has been able to carry out a patient and courageous reconquest. Overlooking the coast from Gevrey-Chambertin to the Bois de Corton, the Hautes Côtes de Nuits are steeped in wild beauty.
With a beautiful red color, clear, with ruby reflections, the nose opens on the typical red fruits of Pinot Noir (currant, morello cherry, currant) with smoky notes, humus and sometimes animals. Rich and complex, its structure is compact with soft and elegant tannins. Good balance.
