JF Nick has made Roussillon, where rich, high-alcohol wines are the norm, a soife powerhouse. This is his signature wine that started it all! High expectations for the fresh, crisp nuances you can sense from the aroma! The mouthfeel is soife, but the ripe fruitiness and flavor, typical of a hot year, lingers long into the aftertaste!
The name of the cuvee "La Soif du Mal" comes from a detective movie by Olsen Welles, an American actor and director. The English title is "Touch of Devil". The literal translation of the French word "Soif du Mal" is "thirsty for evil" = to be stained by evil, to desire evil. Jean-Francois likes this movie.
