琥珀の輝きに、熟成が積み上げた甘美。

ルシヨン南部の太陽と風が育んだ、長期熟成タイプの酒精強化ワイン。琥珀色に銅色の輝きを帯び、アプリコットやイチジクのドライフルーツ、蜂蜜、キャラメル、クルミのニュアンスが溶け合います。味わいはなめらかで豊満、砂糖漬けのオレンジピールや砂糖菓子、ほのかなスパイスが広がり、繊細な酸化ニュアンスを伴う余韻が長く続きます。ロックフォールのサラダやタルト・タタンとともに。

Tasting note

Amber with a coppery glow. The aroma is captivating, blending hints of dried fruits such as apricot and fig with nuances of honey, caramel and walnut. The palate is smooth, rich and highly complex, with aromas of candied orange peel, confectionery and a touch of spice. The finish is long and fresh, with subtle oxidative nuances.

Food pairing

Roquefort cheese salad, mild shrimp curry with coconut milk, Tarte Tatin
