The Dentelles de Montmorail are a dental shaped mountain range, extending south to Mont Ventoux, shielding a sunny garden for vinegrowing. Up on the slopes above famous neighbours #Vacqueyras & #Gigondas is the village of #Suzette. Gorgeous smooth subtle expression Rhône red wine!

Petite appellation Grand vin ! J'adore 😍
Fruité et floral, gras mais toujours équilibré, aromatique, et la longueur...
