Tasting Notes
Radiant ruby in colour, this wine evokes the vibrant allure of ripe raspberries. The nose is expressive and layered, revealing oak-spiced warmth, ripe red fruits, and a subtle, gamey nuance that adds complexity. On the palate, it is beautifully balanced—silky in texture with a core of juicy fruit, gently framed by fine tannins and a rounded weight. A seductive, harmonious Burgundy that lingers with understated finesse.
