Winemaker Notes
This wine has a deep intense color of purple, carmine and shiny. The aroma opens with small black fruits (black currant, blackberries) and is extended with fine floral notes of peony and violet as well as notes of spices and grilled. The taste of this wine is delicate with a beautiful amplitude. The finish is balanced.
The wine is ideal with roasted or grilled red meats and on refined cheeses.

A bold and ripe wine, this has black-currant fruits balanced by rich tannins. The structure is laden with acidity and smoky flavors. Drink from 2023.
In most of France, wines are named by their place of origin and not by the type of grape (with the exception of Alsace). Just like a red Burgundy is by law, always made of Pinot noir, a red Bordeaux is a blended wine composed mainly of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Depending on the laws of the village from which the grapes come, the conditions of the vintage and decisions of the winemaker, the blend can be further supported by Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Petit Verdot and in rare cases, Carmenere. So popular and repeated has this mix of grape varieties become worldwide, that the term, Bordeaux Blend, refers to a wine blended in this style, regardless of origin.
