Tasting notes
Limpid and dark ruby color.
Nose of black and red berries with spicy notes.
In the mouth: Good concentration, roundness and freshness at the same time. Crunchiness of the grapes, cherry and blackcurrant romas with hints of pepper. Very easy to drink !

Food and Wine pairing
Very easy to pair with many simple dishes: charcuterie, red snapper, Serrano ham, grilled white or red meats, pizzas etc. It can also be paired with more structured dishes (daube d’Avignon, venison).
