👁 In the Glass:
Deep ruby with garnet hues—brilliant and expressive.

👃 On the Nose:
Seductive aromas of black cherry, raspberry liqueur, and crushed violets rise from the glass, mingling with garrigue, cracked pepper, warm earth, and a whisper of graphite from the stony terroir.

Pair with roast duck with figs, lamb tagine, grilled venison, or truffle mushroom dishes. Also stunning with aged Comté or hard sheep’s cheese.

Captivating now with decanting, but will evolve beautifully over 10–15 years, gaining further complexity and grace.
