|
| Eye |
A sustained and very brilliant ruby colour with beautiful violet tints. |
| Nose |
Immediate and generous with, at first, notes of fresh red fruits, such as cherries and black fruits, such as blueberries. Next, the richness develops with notes of cacao powder and a delicate touch of liquorice. |
| Palate |
Round and concentrated attack with a balanced structure in the mouth, the tannins are delicate and the acidity luscious. Everything showcases the fruit, which follows up with a long finish. |
|
|
| In Summary |
Demonstrative of the entire Fontsainte personality, this very expressive wine is a harmonious reflection of authenticity and fruit. Ideal with a mushroom tart, grilled mullet with red fruits, yakitoris or a braised red meat... |
