Produced with fruit from selected locations in the Rhone Valley and Languedoc, the 2020 Reserve Pierre presents the full power of the Costieres de Nimes. The wine is deep dark red with expressive aromas of berries, cinnamon and floral notes. The promise of an explosion of flavours does not disappoint and the ripe red fruit is harmoniously balanced with a finish of vanilla and spice. Full bodied, velvety and round, this vintage offers a supple and delicious palate with a welcome note of freshness.
"Very pretty floral scent aromas. Generous flavours of black cherry and blackcurrant. Approachable easy drinking style. Very classic Costieres de Nimes wine."
