TASTING NOTES: the red is a deep cherry colour with garnet highlights. It boasts a bouquet of small red and black fruits
blackcurrant, cherry, raspberry) and flowers (violet). The body is ample and discreetly tannic and the fruit remains present. Frequently one will find an elegant hint of Morello cherry. Roundness, volume, power and balance are all here, and in just the right proportions.
SERVING TEMPERATURE: 15°C
FOOD ACCOMPANIMENT: its solid, mouth-filling power would be a match for good cuts of beef, or even foie gras poêlé. With a crispy roast fowl, the wine’s fleshiness would compensate for a certain dryness in the fibrous flesh of the bird and it would likewise support in the same way more aromatic poultry dishes (glazed or caramelised). For cheeses, it would do better with sweeter-flavoured types such as Chaource, Brie de Meaux, Tomme, Reblochon, Cantal, Mont d’Or, Époisses.
