Situated in the heart of the Faugeres appellation, the vines are between 30 and 60 years old and produce naturally low yields. Layers of black fruits, spice, coffee, and leather make this highly-concentrated wine the perfect match for steak dishes, lamb, and strong cheeses.

Tasting Notes from Celtic Whiskey Shop and Wines on the Green | |
Nose | The nose, while initially restrained, opens up to black fruits, coffee, pepper, and licorice, with hints of leather and forest floor. |
Palate | The palate is full-bodied with great acidity, superb concentration of flavour and ripe tannins. Well balanced, the finish is long and complex with additional notes of leather and spice. |
