TASTING NOTES
All the richness of this wine is expressed by its
magnificent dark colour with bright tones. The
Grenache brings aromas of spicy candied fruit.
Smooth, full and well-balanced on the palate. The
Carignan adds a touch of freshness whilst the low-yield
Syrah brings the aromatic complexity that makes this
wine so generous.
FOOD & WINE PAIRING
This powerful, well-balanced wine is the ideal partner
for many dishes including a shoulder of lamb with
thyme, pigeon with grapes, meats in sauce and
sweet-savoury combinations such as rabbit with
prunes.
