Description
The new Grenache vintage from Domaine Giroflet is crafted in the same spirit as the Cinsault, aiming to capture fruitiness, roundness and lightness. Stone fruits dominate the nose and palate, with a sensation of sweetness (though it’s just a sensation!). The balance is superb, combining generous aromas, a juicy attack, a supple palate and silky tannins. A lovely wine to accompany lasagne or a grilled veal cutlet.
The cuvée in detail:
- Vines planted on Villafranchian terraces facing south on a hillside

- Certified organic farming: no herbicides or synthetic pesticides
