The palate is full-bodied and structured, with ripe but firm tannins supporting a dense core of dark fruit and savoury spice, shaped by the gravelly, sun-baked soils of Plan de Dieu.

Clean and focused on the finish, with lingering lemon, green apple, and a stony freshness that keeps it precise and refreshing.
Sohler Philippe 2020 Pinot Gris
A ripe and gently aromatic Pinot Gris showing notes of pear, yellow apple, and ripe peach layered with subtle honey, almond, and soft spice. The palate is medium-bodied with a rounded, slightly oily texture, balanced by modest acidity and a core of orchard fruit with a faint floral lift. Smooth and quietly expressive through the finish, with lingering stone fruit and gentle nutty notes that give it a soft, textural charm.
