Tasting
Lightly wooded, fruity, and lively. Its primary aromas are of cherry, cassis with second¬ary oak aromas, and smooth finish. An excellent well-balanced, elegant, lighter style Medoc wine ready to be enjoyed now.
Food pairings
This wine will go very well with a slice of pan-fried foie gras, the tannins, which give structure to the wine, break the fatty side of the recipe. Then, a piece of grilled red meat: duck breast, rib steak or beef tenderloin that goes particularly well with a glass of Haut-Médoc. Strong cheeses: reblochon, abundance, cabralès.
