Tasting notes
The purple robe is nuanced by a light purple tone. On the nose, the aromas of sour cherry, raspberry and strawberry prevail and are drawn out by a delicate scent of violets. On the palate, it is spontaneous, a gourmet wine, and its tannins are resolutely round and silky. Quite simply, a pleasurable wine.
Food pairing
This wine brings out the gourmet in everyone! It pairs beautifully with a traditional Beef Bourguignon and will go very well with roast or grilled meat. Choose a dish with balanced flavours, not too spicy. A Comté or a fresh cheese will also go down a treat.
Serve at 14 to 16°C
