Presentation
Built in 1163 in Paris, France, the Notre-Dame Cathedral is one of the main historical monuments in the world. After suffering a devastating fire in April 2019, the cathedral remains more alive than ever. This N.D.P. vintage is a tribute to this exceptional monument and its history.

Specifications
Tasting
Featuring a beautiful ruby red color, the NDP Red Blend offers intense fruit and a lot of sweetness and richness on the palate. Just like "Notre Dame de Paris," this cuvée is a blend of traditional style and typical character. It is highly complex on the palate. Full-bodied, long, and rich, it offers aromas of crushed red fruits (raspberry, cherry) and jammy plum, supported by well-integrated and rounded tannins.
Food pairings
Serve at 17°C with cold cuts, white meats (cream-based poultry dishes), and mild cheeses.
