The strength of the fruit from vines over 100 years old is beautifully balanced with minerality reminiscent of flint. The rich fruitiness is layered with nuances of spice and earth, and the complexity increases over time. This is a masterpiece filled with the eternal history and tranquil elegance of a plot of land in Saint-Auzer that dates back to ancient Roman times.

Tasting Comments

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby color.

The aroma that rises from the glass is of ripe black cherry and plum, layered with spices of licorice, thyme and clove, and a hint of flint-like minerality.

When you put it in your mouth, supple tannins and rich fruitiness spread, and the smooth acidity tightens the whole.

The finish is long-lasting with nuances of black pepper, cocoa and dry herbs, resulting in a magnificent blend of complexity and elegance that comes with aging.

Pairing
Roast lamb with herb crust
Game stewed in red wine (venison or wild boar)
Truffle mushroom risotto
