Tasting notes

Appearance: Bright, limpid garnet-red color with slight violet nuances.
First nose: Concentrated & refined, with aromas of stewed fruit (cherry, strawberry) and light spicy notes (black pepper).
Second nose: On aeration, the nose opens up to a generous aromatic complexity of fruit (Morello cherry), spices (clove, pepper), cocoa & tobacco leaf.
Palate: A frank attack of red fruit, combined with optimal ripeness, reveals present, tempered tannins.
Mid-palate: Full and round, with aromas of stewed black berries (blueberry), licorice & sweet spices (pepper).
End of palate: Long, leaving the palate dense & powerful, with finesse & precision.

A Sancerre Rouge of character, with an elegant, gourmet expression.
