This concentrated and deep red wine comes from a single plot on a calcareous plateau and 50-year-old vines. Ripe blackberries and cassis are layered with mineral and spice notes reminiscent of iron, and the wine has silky tannins and a long finish. A powerful addition to stews and grilled meats.

Tasting Comments

Tasting Notes
Deep garnet colour.

From the glass, concentrated fruit aromas of blackberry, cassis, and ripe plum emerge, along with mineral notes reminiscent of iron, black pepper, herbs, and a subtle hint of smoke.

The palate is powerful yet smooth, with silky tannins enveloping the richness of the fruit and acidity giving it a crisp profile.

The finish is long-lasting with nuances of spice and soil, and it is a wine that can be expected to become even more complex with age.

Pairing
Beef cheek stewed in red wine
Herb Grilled Lamb Chops
Roasted duck breast with berry sauce
