Tasting note
Transparent ruby garnet hue. A Burgundian nose with notes of forest soil and roasted root vegetables. Also a touch of strawberry, licorice stick, dried plum, herbal tea and peanut butter. A highly elegant structure highlighted by silky tannins, appealing tones of spice and fruit – plum and blood orange – and balanced acidity. Wonderfully dry, and very gentle yet confident on the palate. Discreet and dignified.
Food recommendation
white meat with roasted vegetables. Ideal with Coq au Vin
