Nose

On aeration, the bouquet is very open and fresh. The intense red-berry fruit is enhanced by subtle, lightly-toasted oak overtones.

Palate

The wine is beautifully well-balanced on the palate, with smooth tannins and a very elegant aftertaste. Once again, the red-berry fruit is very present, with good acidity, giving the wine a lovely freshness that follows through on the aftertaste. This wine partners deliciously with duck, veal with wild mushrooms, and salads.

Growing Conditions

Winter and spring were very mild, but the summer of 2014 did not live up to our expectations: it rained heavily in July, and August was much cooler than usual, However, starting in September, a miraculous Indian summer with high temperatures, was very favourable to ripening.

Appearance

Lovely, deep-red colour.

Food Pairing

White meats, game, vegetables, cheese, salads, red meats.
