	exceptionally low yield per vine
	powerful and full, with a discreet use of oak
	can ripen easily up to 8 years after harvest

Very good red 'Provence' from wine rebel Sylvain Hoesch

Full red French wine with an aroma of red fruit and herbs. The spicy intense taste - drunk young - goes well with spicy dishes. Once ripened, very tasty with veal or poultry.

IGP Mediteranne Cabernet Savignon

At Domaine Richeaume, all the conditions are in place to make great wines. The grapes are grown organically here. The low yield per vine means that the grapes take full advantage of the sun and the nutrients in the soil. Winemaker Sylvain Hoesch is a true traditionalist, but has also gained experience with leading and modern producers. A wonderful mix of respect for the terroir and modern technology results in flawless wines. This is also the case with this wine from the carignand grape. This wine is - because of hard tannins and banal scents - often of little interest, but in the hands of Richeaume it is a great wine. Southern France at its best!

Drink at

Enjoy this wine with spicy and tasty dishes. Once ripened, it is excellent with fine dishes with, for example, roasted meat, leg of lamb or matured cheeses.
