Champs de la Truffière, the iconic red

“Here’s a mythical red, born in 1981 with the creation of Domaine du Deffends in Saint-Maximin. More than forty years later, this Champs de la Truffière remains a benchmark in Provence, thanks to its ageing potential. We love its deep, complex red fruit character, powerful yet supple tannins, long finish and wild freshness. Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, selected from a very stony plot at an altitude of 400 meters. This big, formal red, which goes well with powerful meats, has been aged for a very long time (up to 30 months in concrete vats, then 5-6 years of bottle ageing before release). And last but not least, its extremely low price!
