Tasting note

The brilliant, deep red color with garnet reflections opens to a refined nose where aromas of red and black fruits (strawberry, raspberry, blackberry) intertwine with nutmeg and pepper on a mineral backdrop. This aromatic continuity is mirrored on the palate, featuring a smooth, supple, fresh, and fruity texture. The finish extends with an elegant peppery note.

Food and wine agreement

To complement this wine, choose dishes that highlight its complexity and spicy aromas. A duck breast with red fruits or a herb-roasted leg of lamb would be perfect choices. Grilled or roasted red meats, paired with roasted root vegetables, can also enhance the wine’s fruity and peppery notes. For cheese lovers, a mature hard cheese such as Comté or Parmesan would pair wonderfully with the wine’s smooth structure and freshness.
