Château de Ciffre "Terroirs d'Altitude"

Red wine | Lorgeril Vineyards, Faugères AC

A wine of mountainous, wild, unique character!
This red wine from the Lorgeril family comes from vines planted at the foot of the Pic de la Coquillade, which climbs to an altitude of 700 meters. The nighttime coolness allows the grapes to ripen slowly, and produces balanced wines with lovely finesse. This blend is carried by black fruits, sprinkled with pepper, and crushed stones. A wine with real presence!
