Description
A beautiful Grenache—fresh, deep and delicately structured—in this Les Quilles Libres cuvée from the Le Clot de l'Origine estate! … The nose hints at black fruits and garrigue before giving way to the first tertiary aromas. We particularly appreciate the balance and the smooth, vinous character of this structured wine. It pairs well with a wide range of dishes, from matured cuts of beef to roasted game.
