Tasting Notes

• Colour: A deep ruby, which matures into an intense garnet with distinguished reflections over time.
• Nose: Intricately complex and alluring, the bouquet features intense aromas of red and black berries (raspberry, black cherry), seamlessly blending with floral touches (violet, peony) and a developing tertiary layer of truffle, forest floor, and delicate spices.
• Palate: The mouthfeel is plush and velvety, supported by flawlessly silky tannins and a commanding structure. It delivers a controlled power alongside supreme elegance, culminating in a finish of remarkable length and aromatic finesse.

Food Pairing & Serving

This Grand Cru demands a pairing of equal standing. Serve at 16-17°C (61-63°F), ideally after decanting for a few hours when young, or simply uncorking for very mature bottles. It is the perfect accompaniment to the finest game and red meats.

• Pairings: Roast Venison Loin with Juniper, Beef Wellington, Aged Comté, Grouse.
