Clos Bagatelle
Aux Quatre Vents Rouge 2010

A blend of Cabernet Franc, Mourvedre and Grenache this wine is vibrant and young, with plenty of interesting fruit flavours, with dark red berries, cherries and a touch of plums noted on the palate and nose. The tannins are soft and ripe, the wine has a nice length and overall nice balance. It is very quaffable and easy to drink.
