Tasting
Colour: Deep red with purple highlights, dense and brilliant.
Nose: Rich and expressive, dominated by black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry), enhanced by floral notes (violet), spices, smoke and a touch of graphite.
Palate: Fleshy attack, with firm, elegant tannins. Good density on the mid-palate, accompanied by well-balanced freshness. The finish is long and distinguished, with black fruit, sweet pepper and a discreet but persistent minerality.
Food and wine pairings
Serve with grilled prime rib, roast veal with porcini mushrooms, game birds or hard cheeses (comté, salers, old mimolette).
