A personality-packed wine, to enjoy with delicious Provençal recipes!  

Epidaure is a very pleasant red wine with wild fruit, spice and roasted notes.

For fine wine enthusiasts keen to unearth new cuvées from the area!

Blackberry, exotic wood and coffee when aerated – the woody notes are well controlled and embedded in the fruit.

Dégustation

2014 – An attractive deep ruby colour, with a nose of roasted notes elegantly combined with scents of wild fruits and musk. On the palate, the wine is fleshy and seriously elegant, with a consensual woody undertone that is very well balanced and integrated.
