Nose : Elegant aromas of red and black fruits (cherry, blackberry), complemented by notes of graphite, cedar, tobacco, and hints of vanilla and oak.
Palate : Structured and harmonious, with fine tannins and lovely acidity. Flavors of ripe fruit mingle with spicy notes, licorice, and a subtle minerality. The finish is long and refined.
Food and Wine Pairing:
Red meats : Pairs perfectly with a filet mignon, a leg of lamb or a grilled ribeye steak.
Stews : Goes well with saucy dishes such as veal blanquette, beef bourguignon or coq au vin.
Cheeses : Ideal with mature cheeses such as Brie de Meaux, Saint-Nectaire or Comté.
Guarding Potential:
The 2015 vintage is an excellent year for Bordeaux, and this wine can be enjoyed now for its complexity and balance. In magnum format, it can improve for another 10 to 15 years, offering a harmonious evolution of its aromas and flavors.
Service Tips:
Temperature : Serve between 16 and 18°C.
Decanting : It is recommended to decant the wine for about 1 to 2 hours before tasting to allow the aromas to fully express themselves.
