Fine claret red with purple blue tints, limpid and brilliant. 

A firm nose of crystallised fruits with a trace of violet that after swirling the glass develops into traces of spices and morello cherry jam.  

A round full-bodied wine, quite a dense and generous tannic structure.  A rich and slightly warm finish. 

It can be drunk now or kept for about 10 years in a good cellar.  

Recommended serving temperature 18-20°C

It marries well with dishes such as ducks breast, steak, roast lamb, wild mushroom omelette and soft cheeses such as reblouchon, brie, vacherin, chaource
