The Domaine's Grands Crus are matured in oak barrels (80% new barrels) made from wood from the Allier and Nivernais regions. We favor light to medium-plus toasts as this ensures the perfect harmony between the wine and wood tannins.The eye is immediately caught by the vermilion hue. The first nose conveys discrete hints of blackcurrant bud and flowers.cSpices and small red fruit aromas appear on the palate on aeration with licorice contributing character. The sweet flavor of rose provides subtlety and style. The overall harmony ensures depth and results in a dense, superb and peerlessly elegant wine.Serving temperature: 16° to 18°CPair with duck breast fillet stuffed with foie gras, deer fillet with mustard, sweet potatoes, roasted Bresse chicken.
