Following age-old family tradition, Piaugier named this wine 'Marine's Dream' after their youngest daughter. Being between twenty and forty-five years old, the vines are in their full, rich, plentiful prime. Deep purple in colour, the nose shows violets at first, then gives way to more complex, spicy aromas. With soft, silky tannins, this well rounded and harmonious wine is already very appealing.

"This wine is a classic Rhone blend, with forest fruit aromas and plenty of body. The great peppery finish makes it perfect with grilled steaks, spicy sausages and hearty stews."
