Tasting
This wine displays a deep ruby color with intense purple hues. The nose opens with aromas of strawberry, raspberry, and violet. On the palate, it is generous and structured, with well-integrated tannins. Fleshy and full-bodied, its richness brings harmony and balance to the tasting experience.
Food pairings
Solid and succulent, this is a seductive wine with firm yet beautifully integrated tannins. It naturally complements meats with pronounced flavors: roasted, braised, or sauced veal, leg of lamb, feathered game, and grilled pork. A classic roast beef will also succumb to its character. On the cheese board: Mont d’Or, Vacherin, Tomme de Savoie, Reblochon, and Cîteaux are all excellent matches.
