Appearance:
Dark red in hue
Nose:
This wine reveals a deep bouquet. Its nose is complex, with dark fruits, tobacco and liquorice, typical aromas of its terroir.
Palate:
The impression on the palate unveils the numerous qualities of this wine. It is powerful, with tannins softened by its long aging and perfectly balanced, with a touch of freshness most welcome in this solar vintage. The aromas are particularly long-lasting on the palate, indicator of an exceptional wine.
Sommelier's advice: Serve between 15° and 16°C on feathered game, a braised lamb shoulder or duck confit. It will also be very pleasant with soft cheese. To drink as from 2018, it will reach its peak around 2030
