Tasting notes

A lot of care, passion and long hours went into producing this exceptional estate classic. Nuances of cracked pepper, pencil shavings and a fresh meat character combined with firm day tannins, refreshing acidity and well-judged wood treatment. The wine is well balanced with a lingering savoury and red-fruited finish.

Pairing

Pair with Lobster; Poulet de bresse, Guinea Fowl, Hazelnut-crusted chicken.
