Queue de Loup is inspired by the best of Provencal rose, crisp and salmon in color, it still has texture and body and loads of personality. It has those lilies and gardenias always present in our Brianna-based wines, but also a lovely berry fruitiness and that limestone minerality found in all our wines coming out of the Vergennes vineyard
