TASTING

March 7, 2019, leaf day 
Mathieu Huguet, oenologist

Bright garnet hue.

The nose evokes the mineral but also a lot of freshness characterized by notes

menthol. When airing, the smokier notes characteristic of the terroir settle permanently.

The mouth is precise offering a silky tannin and a great aromatic power.

Big class.

 

Harmonises with: Wellington style beef tenderloin, potato fondant with white ham,

roast duck with honey and tender carrots…
