Advice
Tasting
An elegant wine.
Visual appearance
Very beautiful deep dress.
At nose
The nose, complex and delicate, reveals woody notes of spices combined with aromas of red fruits, such as cherry and raspberry.
On the palate
The attack on the palate is fresh and velvety with a beautiful sweetness. The mid-palate is textured and has a nice density typical of a Saint-Emilion Grand Cru in this great vintage that is 2022. The finish is tasty, pleasant with enjoyable smoky and fruity notes and an aromatic persistence that heralds a great aging potential for this wine.
Food pairings
A veal chop with porcini mushrooms or a pheasant with grapes will work wonders with your guests as an accompaniment to this delicate wine.
