Its purple robe, intense and sometimes moving towards mauve has a beautiful brilliance and offers a dense, sophisticated nose marked by aromas of blackcurrant and blueberry, enhanced by woody notes when young. Strong and vigorous, this full-bodied wine is chewy, balanced and structured. Long in the mouth, it is fully appreciated after a few years’ keeping: maturity gives it a sensual, sophisticated roundness.
In addition to soft and washed rind cheeses, such as Epoisses, Langres or Soumaintrain, it is also ideal when partnered with flavoursome meats such as roast lamb, rib of beef, breast of duck or game.
Service temperature: between 15°C and 16°C
