Our Review of the Cuvée
From the moment it’s opened, this wine captivates with a nose rich in red fruits intertwined with alluring spices. On the palate, the attack is smooth, revealing a silky texture enriched by subtle tannins. Notes of ripe fruits, such as blackberry and cherry, blend with those of toasted dried fruits, offering a surprising length. The minerality of the schist terroir is perceptible in the background, adding a subtle yet memorable complexity. Perfect for pairing with grilled meats, this Fitou promises to age beautifully over the years, while already offering a most appealing tasting experience.
