Character and style The robe is deep and brilliant. The nose is both animal and floral. We smell shades of blueberry and wild peony on a base marked by a very ripe fruit. The palate is rich and voluptuous revealing of tannins (which fit perfectly after the first 2 years).

Ageing and service To drink young or to keep until 10-15years. Temperature of service: 15-16°C

This wine is recommended with roasted ducks and white meats like filet mignon but also a good sausage.
