Petite Source le Pré rouge is a blend of Grenache, Cinsault and Merlot. Bright ruby purple in colour. On the nose, clean plummy fruit with a hint of graphite (the Merlot showing through!). Dry, light bodied, red plum fruit, crisp acidity, soft tannins. Really lovely mouthfeel; soft, yet with a touch of pleasing astringency on finish and a touch of oak seasoning the palate. A delicious entry-level wine which is totally authentic and without artifice.
