Tasting notes
Brilliant ruby red with purple reflections. A fine, seductive, sweetly spicy fragrance on the nose reminiscent of raspberries, blackberries, cherries, vanilla, a little tobacco and Mon Chéri; the palate presents with power, plenty of mellowness and noticeable but finely honed tannins. The acidity plays a supportive role and is well integrated. A mouth-filling, spicy wine with long, lingering aromas.

Recommendations
Perfect with spicy pasta, veal and mild hard cheese.
Vinification
Both grape varieties are picked by hand and vinified separately. The young wine matures in 225 l French barriques (Tronçais and Allier). 30% new and 70% one-year-old barrels are used for the 14-month ageing period.
