Tasting
Intense colour with purple highlights. The nose opens with deep aromas of black cherry, blackcurrant and violet, punctuated by more mineral notes of graphite and zan. The palate is full-bodied and structured, revealing beautiful volume supported by dense, silky and persistent tannins. The balance between sweetness and tension gives the wine a delicious richness while preserving its freshness. The long and expressive finish lingers on notes of spice – pepper and black liquorice – enhanced by a subtle floral touch and a slight mineral imprint that bring a beautiful freshness. Overall, this is a wine with a promising future and beautiful complexity, which can be enjoyed now but also has remarkable potential for ageing.
Food pairings
The generous structure and silky tannins of this wine come into their own when paired with a fine cut of meat: Rossini beef fillet, matured rib of beef or duck breast in sauce, as well as mature cheeses such as aged Cantal. Expressive and welcoming, this wine is perfect for festive meals, enhancing each dish with refinement.
