The vintner’s notes

• Deep robe of a sustained purple colour.
• An aromatic and powerful nose, different aromas according to the ageing.
• Forget it a few years, giving it time to express his whole “terroir” and typicity: often rustic and wild in his youth, this wine becomes powerful and reveals his character later on… a complex structure opening on black berries overtone, sweet spices and liquorice. Fresh and delicate final, very long on the palate, tinted with slight smoked bitterness.
• Being produced by selected plots of old vineyards, a top ranked wine of the appellation.

Wine & Food

• Ideally served with tasty meats like games: wild boar, pheasant, red deer or lamb shanks. A good accompaniment for sheep’s raw milk cheese, tome of Savoie, of the Massif Central, of the Vosges.
