Aromatics: A vibrant nose of framboise, wild strawberries, and black cherry, intricately woven with white pepper, dried Mediterranean herbs (garrigue), and licorice.
Palate & Texture: Medium-to-full-bodied with a layered, velvety mouthfeel. It exhibits brighter acidity and slightly lower alcohol percentages than warmer vintages, offering a balanced and beautifully structured finish.
This wine pairs exceptionally well with hearty, herb-scented dishes that complement its savory garrigue undertones.
Consider pairing it with:
Roast lamb with rosemary and thyme
Grilled pork chops or herb-crusted beef stewWild mushroom risotto or slow-simmered game dishes
