AOC SAUMUR PUY NOTRE DAME
Dark purple red color. The nose evokes gentian, licorice stick, fragrances of wood follow with notes of truffle when the wine has grown. Concentration does not eliminate elegance and complexity. The freshness is always at the rendezvous with a frank attack of tannins – ample and sweet to finish on a very long in the mouth
