Bright deep purple colour. On the nose, it develops powerful aromas of red berries, cherry and raspberry enhanced by toasted and spicy nuances. Well-balanced, it is powerful and fullbodied with concentrated aromas of fruit and liquorice. Ripe tannins give a velvety texture to it.

To be served on a nice piece of Charolais beef, braised ham or an Epoisses cheese.

climate

The region is at the confluence of three major influences: southerly, oceanic and continental. These unique conditions have, over time, dictated the choice of varietal. The climate of the Bourgogne winegrowing region is mainly temperate, and has a positive influence on vine growing.
