the appellation produces red, rosé and white wines. The red wines, with their deep tint, are robust and full, well-balanced and long. They exhibit aromas of fig, ripe stone fruit and black cherry with liquorice notes. As powerful wines, they pair well with game and meats served in a sauce. The full, generous rosés pair with barbecues and aioli. The whites are delicate and floral with their fragrances of honey, dried and acidulous fruit, flowers… Try with fish or shellfish.
