2015 a Great Succes !
2015 is a dry vintage, hot at the beginning of the year, then cold on maturation. The vinification had to adapt to a more concentrated grape juice: pumping was less frequent. The macerations were short not to harden the tannins.
This wine has a beautiful dark red color with purple highlights. Inviting nose, spicy, with fine notes of pepper and balanced woody. The mouth is slightly fond. Very aromatic with clear and fresh tannins. At once elegant, balanced and ample. Aging potential: between 10 and 15 years.
Ideal service between 16 ° C and 19 ° C, on an charcuterie appetizer, grilled or roasted meat, game, a selection of cheese. Open 1 hour before serving.
