Tasting Notes

A wine with a bright cherry-red colour and violet hues. The well-defined bouquet features ripe strawberry and blackberry juice with touches of toast and cocoa.

Good balance on the palate, a delicious sweetness well supported by silky tannins. It offers a generous and immediate pleasure. This wine is not meant to be aged. It is ready to drink when you are ready to savour its magic.

Food & Wine Pairings and Service Tips

Enjoy this wine as a time-honoured tradition. Sit, sip and relax. Do not hesitate to serve it with everyday dishes as well as refined ones. It pairs very well with white meats, poultry, pizzas, cheeses, etc. Decanting is not necessary. Serve yourself a glass and let the bottle oxygenate gently at around 17 °C.  Do not hesitate to be curious or to think outside the box!
