Tasting Notes
Aromas of ripe black cherry, wild raspberries, and fresh rose petals emerge alongside subtle hints of underbrush, forest floor, and spice. The palate is full-bodied yet elegant, offering layered flavors of dark red fruit, graphite, and earthy minerality, underpinned by finely grained tannins and lively acidity. The finish is long and resonant, marked by a vibrant mineral streak and balanced freshness.
Pairings
Pairs exquisitely with richly flavored dishes such as roast lamb with herb crust, beef Wellington, or venison with blackberry sauce. Its structured tannins and vibrant acidity complement game birds like quail or duck confit, while earthy mushroom risotto or truffle-infused dishes enhance the wine’s forest floor and mineral nuances. Aged hard cheeses like Comté or Beaufort also provide a harmonious match, highlighting the wine’s elegance and depth
Decant
for 1.5 to 2 hours, to allow the wine’s powerful tannins and dense fruit to soften and open up, releasing layered aromas of dark berries, and spice.
Drinking Window
From 2027–2028. Peak maturity: 2030 to 2045+. This wine is built for the long haul, with the structure and concentration to develop gracefully over two decades or more. While approachable with careful decanting after about 7–8 years, it truly shines with extended aging, revealing deeper complexity, silkier tannins, and greater aromatic depth. Proper storage will reward patience with a magnificent evolution.
