Note:
Full of fullness, this wine unfolds a bouquet of jammy red fruits, with a touch of fig, raisin, and menthol. The palate is frank and elegant, yet restrained, both in terms of power and ageing, with very balanced oak. A distinguished Pomerol that highlights the roundness of the Merlot.
Food Pairing:
Lamb skewers, venison, roast meats and cheeses such as Maroilles and Saint Nectaire.
