Tasting

Colour: Deep garnet with a dark hue, promising density and concentration

Nose: Expressive, combining black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry, plum), violets, woody nuances (cedar, smoke), graphite and mint

Palate: Clean attack, silky texture, firm but polished tannins. Flavours of dark berries, sweet spices, liquorice, mint and real minerality; long, persistent finish

Food & wine pairing

Ideal with grilled or roasted red meats (rib of beef, entrecote), game (venison, wild boar), lamb in sauce, or mature cheeses (comté, cantal). Its refined structure and elegant tannins make it an excellent companion for dishes with character.
