Very fun, delicious, and very French! Lifted and gorgeous primary aromas of red bing cherries, wild strawberries, and a mix of elegant spices from the whole cluster stems easily rises from the glass. I could just sit and smell this wine all day! The palate was med/med+ body while the flavor intensity was medium+ and persistent. Finishes long and fresh. This delivers my favorite combo in the wines I love: a ton of flavor without a ton of weight. About the producer Gilles ParisGilles Paris, who hails from Qui
