Tasting

The nose is redolent of intense scents of fresh fruit (blackcurrant, red currant...) and forest undergrowth resulting in a slightly wild character. On the palate, this soft, round wine is endowed with a fine tannic structure that lends it lovely balance. The finish is delectable and highly aromatic.

Food/wine pairing

Taste this wine with roasted or stewed meats (beef, duck, pork, game), or with medium to mature cheeses.
Recipe suggestion: coq au vin

Serving and keeping
