Tasting notes

Food pairing
The powerful and elegant character of the 2022 vintage pairs beautifully with refined meat dishes such as beef fillet, Chateaubriand, rib-eye steak or Beef Wellington, as well as rack of lamb, game dishes such as venison and roe deer, and slow-cooked specialties like Boeuf Bourguignon or Daube de bœuf. Its dense structure and fine tannins also make it an excellent match for mature hard cheeses such as Comté, Cantal or Ossau-Iraty.
