Wine.comBlend: 41% Pinot Noir, 39% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Meunier Color: Elegant pink On the nose: Hints of small crisp red fruits (raspberry, redcurrant and wild strawberry) slowly open up to aromas of black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry, and blueberry).

The rich texture intensifies the sensation of fullness which lingers in a delicious finale tinged with vanilla and licorice.
