Tasting Notes
The plot “La Cadole” returns its historical name and becomes “Vernus” in 2021. Sheltered by a large wall next to the main house, this old vineyard has attracted much attention. It produces berries with a “millerandé” effect, a wine with a very concentrated nose of black fruit aromas and peppery notes. The mouthfeel is smooth and elegant, with noble tannins, spicy notes, and a nice length. An exceptional wine.
