Deep ruby with purple hues, this wine shows aromas of dark cherry, black plum, garrigue herbs and a touch of peppery spice. The palate is plush yet structured, with rich red and black fruit, mouth-coating texture and warm, lingering spice on the finish. It combines power and elegance, with a pleasing balance of fruit and savoury depth.
 
FOOD PAIRING: Perfect with herb-roasted lamb, rich beef stews, chargrilled pork ribs, ratatouille or Provençal vegetable stews, terrine or pâté, aged hard cheeses like Tomme or Comté.
