Faugères Belle Lurette 2018 Domaine de Cébène

Faugères - Belle Lurette 2018

「昔むかし」と名づけられた、古樹の果実。

“il y a belle lurette”は「昔むかし」を意味する言い回し。古くて価値のある樹から穫れる希少な果実が、高貴さと生き生きとした軽やかさを同時に描き出します。非常に熟したチェリーの香りに、ドライフラワーと石を思わせるミネラル感。エレガントで上品なミディアムボディで、程よいタンニンが個性を形づくります。セージをきかせた豚肉のグリルや鴨のカスレと。オーガニック認証取得。

Tasting note

Very ripe cherry aroma, dried flowers and a certain stone-like minerality. Elegant and refined medium body. Light on the palate, with a gorgeous and rich aroma like Herbes de Provence. The moderate tannin coating expresses the wine's unique character.

Food pairing

They all go well with gourmet dishes, such as grilled pork with sage or duck cassoulet.
