Character and style The “robe” is ruby. The dainty nose reveals aromas of very ripe raspberry and blackcurrant. In the mouth the wine is tonic, marked by aromas of wet earth. The set is accompanied by very little tannins supported by good acidity that will require a good year to implement.
Ageing and service To drink young or to keep 2-3 years. Temperature of service: 14°C

Young, this wine is recommended to accompany poultry, white meats (rabbit with rosemary or a rack of veal with vegetables). Avoid too rich or spicy cuisines.
