VINIFICATION

Maceration lasts 15 days.

TASTING

A deep, attractive, shining and slightly terracotta-red colour. The nose is characterised by red fruit, blackberry and blackcurrant. Silky smooth in the mouth, accompanied by hints of cocoa and an impressive range of fruit aromas, this wine leaves a warm and lingering sensation on the palate.

ACCOMPANYING DISHES

This bright and cheerful wine goes well with vol au vents, fillet of duck breast, and really comes into its own at mealtime when combined with veal chops with rosemary or a delicious mignon de veau with liquorice and its woody flavours.
