CHARACTER AND STYLE
Bright vermilion colour with dark reflexion. Fresh and delicate nose opens with some notes of ripe fruits (crushed strawberry, violet). The palate is fine and attractive. It confirms the red and black fruit (blackberry, morello cherry). It is gently supported by some fine and silky tannins. Behind these sensations of ripe fruit accompanied by few wild nuances, the wine is persistent on the palate. It is frank and straightforward and reveals both refinement and elegance.
AGEING AND SERVICE
To drink young or to keep 3-5 years. Temperature of service: 15-16°C
This is a wine, young, that can be enjoyed slightly fresh. Then it will be ideal for the grill of all the meat (especially white) and the pork. It will not be shocking or cooked together with a tasty fish. After three or four years; roasted meats, cooked meat on various sauces (blanquettes, wine or mustard) will be highly appreciated. Finally a wide choice for this wine of terroir and character.
