Jean-François Hénin, originally from Burgundy, runs his small estate following principles of organic agriculture and aiming to produce a bold and elegant style of Châteauneuf.
Tasting Notes
Fruit bomb dominated by delicious ripe strawberries with notes of black olive and rosemary. Very tull-bodied, with ripe silky tannins and surprising freshness for the style.

Excellent with heartier dishes with red meats or barbecued food as well as game and strong aged cheeses.
