Calmel & Joseph La Ruffe
75cl
Elegant and harmonious red from Languedoc made with Syrah and Carignan. Aromas of wild berries, earth, truffles, and herbs. On the palate, it is bright and fruity with soft and subtle tannins, and an extremely well-balanced body. It drinks well now but has great ageing potential. Pair with roasted duck, beef, or game.
