TASTING NOTE
Lush aromas of roasted red cherries mingle with more savoury notes of sagebrush and dried Provençal herbs. The richness of the fruit on the palate is supported by a fine-grained tannin structure and bright acidity. Red fruit flavours along with notes of Assam tea carry through an elegant, lengthy finish.

FOOD PAIRING
Black pepper and Malbec-braised pork shoulder; traditional Cherry Clafoutis such as the one made by winemaker Jean-Marc’s Mamie Hélène
