Tasting notes
This wine has donned a robe of a beautiful dark red colour with a purple reflection. The nose evokes small black fruits (blackberry, blueberry, blackcurrant). On the palate, its finesse and balance will delight those with the highest of expectations. Its silky tannins make it a charming wine.
Food & wine pairing
this wine: Bresse chicken with cream, guinea fowl with cabbage or poached capon. Cheese pairs well too, provided that it is creamy or silky on the palate: Brie or Chaource, for example.
