TASTING NOTES
Grolleau, or Groslot, has been grown on our hillsides since the 19th century. It owes its name to the bluish-black color of its berries, reminiscent of the plumage of the Grolle, a local nickname for the Crow. It is a variety of abundance, capable of very high yields with very large bunches. It is a hardy variety, resistant to spring frost, mildew, powdery mildew and drought. Its very large leaves are only slightly indented, almost round. With a demanding viticulture, it produces wines of great finesse that are low in alcohol, with notes of bright red fruit, subtle aromas of rose petal, spice and a light structure offering lively tannin. -Winemaker's Notes
