Bouquet: Characteristic winy bouquet, intense and persistent, cherry hints.
Taste: velvety, slightly bitter, reminds of cherry and bitter almonds.
Serving suggestion: It pairs excellently with red meat and game.
Deep garnet with a violet rim. On the nose, the wine is open and generous, bursting with liquorice, red fruit, chocolate and olive notes. The palate is extremely fresh and fruity, with a dense and velvety texture.
Aromas of bright cassis and blue berry are supported by plum, black olive, fresh tobacco leaf, bell pepper, and cocoa notes. The palate is complex and velvety with the fruit and savoury notes balanced with a seamless finish and integrated French oak.
Discreet and elegant nose which opens up with airing to reveal succulent aromas of brandied morello cherries mingled with peppery, minty notes. From a substantial and powerful attack, the mid-palate reveals a close-knit, creamy texture set off by well-integrated, structured tannins. The succulence hinted at on the nose is expressed in black fruit and mocha notes, leading into an opulent finish which underlines the wine’s complexity.
The nose is already very present and powerful, with notes of ripe and fresh fruits such as burnt cherry and pomegranate. In mouth, the attack is ample with a beautiful intensity. A wine of a beautiful power while remaining very greedy and round. The fresh woody taste, well blended, expresses itself on notes of praline pastry. The finish is long and expresses all its potential with a lot of brightness.

Luce 2021 displays a remarkably intense ruby red colour. On the nose, dark fruit notes stand out, primarily wild blackberry and mulberry, lifted by delicate nuances of sweet violets and other blossoms, and smooth impressions of mixed spices. The palate swifty reveals the wine’s innate character and elegance. Its notably broad volume is enlarged even further by impressive, silk-smooth tannins, crafting a very balanced mid-palate crowned by a near-endless, spice-infused finish.
