NEXUS

ORIGIN OF STAINED GLASS LABEL :
St Vitus cathedral – Prague

 

COMMENTARY :

Deep red color, garnet reflections. Nose on small fume notes, red and black fruit notes, basket of strawberries and raspberries, cherries and blackberries. Flexible attack, greedy and air texture, notes of blue flowers, of violet, beautiful Loire freshness and a tannic structure no more than needed. Long persistence… A very delicate wine which will be able to wait in your cellar. Use of a decanter recommended in its youth.

 
« This 4 hands Cuvée made with my friend Philippe GILBERT is the result of the unexpected and thrilling venture showing the cistercian rigour out of a beautiful Pinot Noir and the craziness of a Cuban salsa danced at l’Ecu… twisting, up and straight, fresh and juicy, it’s good, it’s big and it will get even better with time…» Fred.
