Tasting
This wine is faithful to the terroir of southern France, with a good expression of fruit, a textured palate, and a beautiful length in the mouth. This blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Cinsault, grown on mainly sandy soils, presents charming and complex aromas between cherry and raspberry, and freshly crushed spices highlighted by citrus notes. This wine reveals the character traits of southern grape varieties. The tannins are soft, giving a rich and vibrant mouthfeel and a delicate finish while still maintaining power.

Reviews
"De la fraîcheur aromatique et une matière ample et puissante en bouche pour ce vin qui doit être attendu afin que ses tannins se patinent. Son équilibre est irréprochable."
"Les Millemandises Par Alice Lafon La Cerise Sur Le Gâteau 2022 incarne la jeune génération de la famille Lafon. Grenache, Syrah et Cinsault, élevés pendant 17 mois, dont neuf mois en fûts de Bourgogne ayant contenu plusieurs vins, s'assemblent pour donner un rouge assez clair aux notes florales, de zeste d'orange confit, de compote de rhubarbe, de cerise rouge, une pointe de fraise confite et une légère salinité. Ample et bien équilibré, il est prêt à être dégusté dès maintenant. À boire entre 2025 et 2028." [+]
