Description
The colour of this Frères Giac cuvée from the Giachino estate is quite light, with orange highlights. The highly expressive nose evokes strawberries, spices and hints of Havana cigar. Following a lively attack of wild berries (redcurrants, strawberries and raspberries), the palate unfolds with a rounded, balanced texture and a finish full of sweetness.
