Vox Dei
Château Vieux Moulin · Corbières, France
Vox Dei means the Voices of Gods in Latin language. This wine is a tribute to all the local people who helped Alexandre made his first wine when he took over the estate.

Full-body blend, with nose of forest fruits, pepper, with leafy notes. Dense, silky tannins, showing a lively, energetic finish.
