Breeding
Aged in oak barrels with 14 to 18 months' élevage in underground cellars.
On the eye
Deep, impenetrable purple-black colour with excellent intensity and clarity.
On the nose
Intense and expressive, revealing layers of dark berries, black plum, and subtle spice. A delicate floral note emerges, adding complexity and refinement to the bouquet.
In the mouth
Enveloping and silky on the palate, with a gentle liquorice quality that adds textural interest. The tannins are well-integrated, providing structure without harshness, and the finish is persistent and elegant.
This wine pairs exceptionally well with charcuterie and cured meats, though it truly shines alongside red meat dishes. Consider it with beef braised in wine, duck confit, or game birds. The silky texture and balanced structure make it equally suited to lighter preparations such as roasted quail with grapes or herb-crusted lamb.
