Description
Descriptions of Provence wines tend to mention the sun-baked pines, thyme and rosemary that gives their reds character. Here you need to add the hills of limestone and cool breezes.

This big, blackcurranty red comes from vines that grow amongst the ruins of an abbey high up in the hills of Provence. The vines are kept cool by this altitude, giving the wine an elegance that belies its excellent price..

Ruby red in colour, lots of forest fruit aromas with a little hint of Provencal herbs it has a refined edge and long fruit-filled finish.
