Presentation

Presentation
As in cooking, we carefully select terroirs and grape varieties to best express the original flavours of each appellation in a fruity, expressive style with silky tannins. Each cuvée is enjoyable from the moment it is bottled. The final blending is carried out with Chefs Disciples d'Escoffier, so that each wine is associated with the world of gastronomy from the start.

Reviews

Argent
"Spicy, smoky, dark fruit and liquorice nose. Rich and fruity in the mouth with fine tannins, lively acidity and a long, spicy finish. Very pleasant drinking!"

"Youthful and energetic, this full-bodied wine presents a concentrated core of raspberries, plum and blackberry framed by smoke and wet stone. On the palate these notes quickly harmonize, leaving you craving another sip" [+]
