Tasting Note
The nose is elegant and refined, revealing fascinating mineral notes of graphite. This is complemented by complex undertones of tobacco and exotic wood. On the palate, the wine is soft, with flavours of candied fruit, smoke, and toasted bread. It possesses a long finish and is carried by ripe tannins, which ensure structure and excellent aging potential.

Food Pairing
This powerful yet elegant Petit Verdot, with its mineral and smoky nuances, is an excellent accompaniment to dishes with a pronounced flavour and texture:

• Spicy or Seasoned Meat Dishes: Especially red meat or game with a rich sauce.
• Barbecue Dishes: Due to its smoky notes, this wine pairs excellently with smoked or grilled meat.
• Asian or Moroccan Dishes with spices such as cumin and coriander.
• Goat Cheese or other semi-hard, rich cheeses.
