Wine:

Made mostly from Grenache, the 2024 Esquisse Red from IGP Pays d’Oc delights with its freshness, finesse, and juicy, fleshy fruit character. This is a wine full of charm—honest, easy-drinking, and irresistibly enjoyable. Serve it slightly chilled with grilled meats, rabbit terrine, or herb sausages for a perfect summer pairing.
