they produce up to three Chateauneufs (Les Safres

perfectly balanced and elegant

Strong menthol aromas are about all that can be appreciated on the nose at present

very typical for a 1985 though it is less intense nowadays

which are intended to show aspects of the terroir rather than to be special luxury wines

Dried cherry

a little nervous and has some cellar time ahead of it

Cellorigo and Fonzaleche)
