"A deep, intense, beautiful ruby-red robe. On the nose, it boasts floral and delicate perfumes of violet and rose, joined by small red fruits (strawberry, raspberry). On the palate, the balance is perfect, with silky tannins. A wine of great finesse.
Its balance and finesse call for delicate dishes: slightly spicy roasted red meat, nicely cooked game birds: capon stuffed with ceps, for example, or farm poultry supreme with truffles. A delicate wine that calls for rather mild or creamy cheese: Brie, Chaource, or even Reblochon."
