Ripe blackberries, blackcurrants and a hint of violet form the aromatic nose. On the palate, raspberry and red-plum flavors are glossy and pure in this full-bodied wine where hints of granite and peppery spice accent the soft, silky tannins.
In the 17th century, the Arnaud family settled in Tresques, on the right bank of the Rhone Valley, in the department of Gard. They quickly rose to the title of winemaker after the acquisition of a vineyard producing Côtes du Rhône. The vineyard of the Arnaud family is today composed of 120 ha producing mainly Côtes du Rhône and Côtes du Rhône Villages Laudun.
