APPEARANCE: It has a ripe cherry colour, highlighted by bright ruby red reflections.

BOUQUET: The bouquet is refined, intense and deep. The initial notes are reminiscent of black fruits, accompanied by hints of rockrose, rosemary and cedar wood.

TASTING NOTES: the attack is pleasant and gives way to a broad, serious and complex palate. The palate seduces with its flavour, creaminess and remarkable length. Ripe tannins ensure softness and suppleness, while notes of black fruits, rockrose, oregano and liquorice enrich the aromatic expression. The finish is long and deep.

SERVING TEMPERATURE: between 18 and 20°C

FOOD PAIRINGS: Blanc de Noir pairs well with structured, savoury dishes from both land and sea: from red tuna tartare to duck à l'orange, from semi-mature mountain cheeses to vegetable tempura.

ADDITIONAL NOTES: this wine pairs perfectly with grilled ribeye steak, black rice with octopus, or chocolate cake.

BOXED: NO

Allergens: contains sulfites
