A garnet-purple hue, slightly deeper than average. Grand Cru Classé. Classic Saint-Julien style. The aroma is dominated by red and black cherry, black currant, plum, and blackberry, complemented by notes of violet, anise, oolong tea, garrigue, cedar, vanilla, clove, pepper, and toasted nuances; it is elegant, fragrant, and fresh. The palate is medium-bodied to slightly fuller-bodied, fine-grained, and well-balanced. The finish is long, with a fragrant and fresh aftertaste. Pairs well with beef, lamb, duck, and game. We recommend serving it with beef steak, duck breast, lamb shank, and game stew.
