La Cave de l'Abbé Rous 2018 Cornet & Cie. Banyuls Rimage [12/500]

Going back to 1998, this delicious dessert wine has established itself as a brighter, less alcoholic alternative to Port. It is also an especially pretty expression of the Grenache grape. Its affinity with bitter chocolate is by now a received truth.
