• Appellation : Listrac-Médoc AOP
• Producer : Château Fourcas Hosten
• Vintage : 2011
• Format : Magnum (1.5 L)

Tasting:

• Dress : Deep ruby ​​color with garnet highlights.
• Nose : Complex aromas of red and black fruits (cherry, blackberry, blackcurrant), accompanied by notes of leather, tobacco, vanilla and oak.
• Palate : Structured and balanced with fine, well-integrated tannins. Ripe fruit flavors mingle with spicy and woody notes. The finish is long and elegant, with excellent persistence.

Various Food and Wine Pairings:

• White meats : Pairs surprisingly well with herb-roasted chicken or rabbit with mustard.
• Oily fish : Perfect with grilled salmon or seared tuna, especially when accompanied by a red wine sauce or red butter sauce.
• Pasta and risotto : Pairs well with mushroom risotto or truffle pasta.
• Grilled vegetables : Perfect with Mediterranean-style grilled vegetables, such as eggplant, zucchini and peppers, drizzled with a little olive oil.
• Vegetarian dishes : Goes well with a potato and cheese gratin, or a vegetarian moussaka.

Guarding Potential:

Service Tips:

• Temperature : Serve between 16 and 18°C.
• Decanting : Decanting for one to two hours is recommended to allow the aromas to fully express themselves.
