Long maturation time of the grapes, in order to get the maximum of the terroir. The grapes are destemmed.
This is followed by a very gentle fermentation and maceration to enhance the fruity character on a coated balance.
The robe is dark garnet with purple reflections. In the nose rich and complex, expressing heat, liquor and crushed berries. Notes of liquorice. On the palate fleshy with a nice matter which expresses itself by the pure and liquorish aromatic tenderness (raspberry, blackcurrant). Complexity at the end: honey and garrigue.
Serve between 14 and 16°C. Pairs nicely with a farm chicken with morels, a good leg of lamb or a meat dish in sauce.
