The 2018 Terre Brûlée Le Rouge delights with vibrant summer berries, ripe cherries, and succulent plums, layered beautifully on the palate. The combination of stainless steel and oak fermentation imparts both structure and texture, creating a rounded and velvety mouthfeel. The wine offers a harmonious balance of fruit and subtle spice, with each sip revealing more complexity. It is rich and smooth, with an alluring softness that makes it incredibly drinkable now, while its well-built structure ensures it will age gracefully over time.
