Tasting Notes
- Nose: Rich aromas of black cherry, blackberry and a touch of violets, complemented by soft notes of vanilla and light cedar.
- Palate: Full and balanced on the palate: ripe red and black fruit, fine tannins and a fresh acidity that keeps everything in balance. Medium to long finish with subtle spice and a hint of dark chocolate.
- Serving temperature: 16–18°C.
- Tip: decant younger bottles 20–30 minutes; gains extra complexity after 3–6 years of aging.
Foodpairing
Recommended matches
- Grilled lamb with rosemary and garlic; the tannins cut through the fat and enhance the savory notes.
- Beef stew or boeuf bourguignon; the rich sauce pairs beautifully with the ripe fruit.
- Poultry such as duck with a berry sauce; the wine’s fruitiness complements the sauce.
- Aged cheeses like Comté or Manchego; texture and umami complement the wine.
- Vegetarian: grilled portobello mushrooms or a hearty lentil stew with tomato and thyme.
