History: Poesia is the story of several meetings. First of all, the meeting of two people: Hélène Garcin, a woman of passion, and Patrice Levêque, a meticulous winegrower for whom the vine is a being in its own right. Their vision of working the vine and their ardent fascination for exceptional terroirs gave birth to a life project, which took form in the type of marriage where one partner feeds on the passion of the other. Then came the meeting between the couple and the terroirs. A complex, inexpressible notion, which creates a dialogue in spite of everything, from the first moment, from the first stride across the land. Terroirs of the sort that present themselves to man as being self-evident. Poesia is the story of what happens when they are given their chance. The chance to create something exceptional, with the greatest respect.

Tasting Notes:

Exotic aromas are followed by ripe currant and blackberry fruit in the palate. Quite sweet and ripe with hints of minerality in the back.  It goes well with hearty dishes with fish, pasta, and grilled vegetables. It accompanies all meat dishes, from braised wild boar to hearty roast beef to fine duck breast, with its fruity, balanced aromas. The liveliness and freshness, paired with the rich tannins.
