Drinking Window: 2019 - 2019
This consistently reliable family domaine is now in the hands of the fifth generation – siblings Fabien and Magali Leperchois – whose 50ha of organic vineyards were certified biodynamic in 2009. This Grenache-dominant GSM has vibrantly pure and juicy red berry fruits, soft anise and wild herb tones with textured tannins and a long savoury finish. Lifted, pretty and delicious.
