Tasting notes
Appearance: Deep, brilliant robe with ruby highlights. A beautiful colour that instantly charms and promises elegance.
Nose: Expressive and inviting from the first moment. Opens with ripe red fruits – morello cherry, blackberry, a hint of blueberry jam. Delicate liquorice and gentle sweet spices complete this generous, silky bouquet.
Palate: Flattering, round and creamy attack. Perfectly balanced, gourmand and structured, yet wonderfully refined. Melted, coated tannins bring pure elegance. Flavours of red fruits, liquorice and a touch of vanilla evoke crème brûlée. Balsamic freshness leads to a long, delightful and highly drinkable finish.
Serving suggestions Temperature: 18°C Food pairings: Grilled or roasted red meats, rare rib of beef: the fruit and soft tannins enhance the meat perfectly. Provençal herb dishes (beef daube, lamb with olives): perfect harmony with the liquorice and sweet spices. Medium-aged cheeses (sheep’s tomme, fruity Comté) or red-fruit desserts: roundness and freshness in beautiful balance.
