With our Paradoxe Rouge, we sought to create a high-quality cuvée at a very affordable price.
Our pursuit of purity and simplicity led us to a paradox: achieving this wine required even more work and expertise.
To attain the desired finesse and drinkability, we blended multiple vintages. We combine the vibrancy of youth with the wisdom of aged wines, offering you a wine ready to open and enjoy right away! We drew inspiration from the 19th-century Chartrons merchants, who already practiced such blends.
The number (No. 23) distinguishes each unique blend, as they differ with every release. The last two digits of the number indicate the most recent vintage in the blend. This way, you can track the sequence and know which bottle in your cellar is the oldest.
