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 pairings
Roasted or stewed meats (beef, duck, pork, game)
Medium to mature cheeses
Recipe suggestion: coq au vin
