NOSE
Aromas of blackberry and black cherry in liqueur, scents of sweet spices, delicacy of floral notes evoking rose petals and violet, the nose reveals a magnificent bouquet, sunny and concentrated.

PAIRING
Saint-Émilion goes really well with beef dishes such as braised beef, beef burger with cheddar and bacon or with mushroom.
