Tasting notes

Deep garnet colour; the nose reveals subtle notes of blackcurrant, blackberry and red fruit. Fleshy and concentrated on the palate, with a finish that softens over time.

Food pairing

Game in sauce, coq au vin, red meats; with age, it pairs very well with very slightly mature soft cheeses (Munster, Saint-Nectaire…).
