Tasting Notes

A deep garnet red color with violet reflections

A complex bouquet dominated by ripe red and black fruits, such as cassis, black cherry, and blackberry, accompanied by floral nuances (violets) and delicate spicy notes of white pepper and clove. Toasty hints and vanilla, imparted by oak aging, are also present.

On the palate, it is fresh and balanced, with soft, well-integrated tannins that provide structure without sacrificing elegance. It has a silky texture and a pleasant finish, revealing flavors of red fruit, hints of vanilla, and a mineral background characteristic of the Saint-Julien terroir.
