Intensive, komplexe Nase mit Aromen von Cassis, Waldbeeren, Pflaumen, Tabakblätter, getrockneten Kräutern und feinen Holznoten. Frischer und eleganter Gaumen mit seidig, feinen Tanninen. Der Domaine Eden ist lang im Abgang mit viel Tiefe und betörender, blauer Frucht und leicht würzigen Noten.
Perched on a cool, exposed mountain top with meagre and infertile Franciscan shale soils, this 16-hectare estate is dry-farmed according to the principles of sustainable viticulture.
