Tasting notes

Contrary to the original label, which is a collection of many quotes about madness, the wine is easily decodable because it is built on a gourmet pleasure. Matter and elegance. Refined expression of a red wine from the Loire. Only produced in certain years. The Clos de la folie is full of ardour, the wine has a strong character with beautiful aromas of blackcurrant and redcurrant, the finish is very elegant between white pepper and peony.
