From: Saint-Émilion, Bordeaux, France
Varietal: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc

Taste: In the glass is a vivid ruby-red color with bluish reflections at the rim. The nose offers a lifted aromatic profile, fresh raspberry, red currant, and wild cherry at the forefront, underscored by dried rose, cedar, and a faint graphite edge. The palate is medium-bodied and fruit-driven, showing clarity and finesse, with soft tannins and a crisp line of acidity that carries flavors of pomegranate, plum skin, and crushed herbs. Subtle notes of licorice and toasted spice emerge on the mid-palate, leading to a clean, slightly saline finish with lingering red fruit and floral nuance.



Pairing: The wine’s vibrant red fruit and freshness make it a versatile choice for classic and modern dishes. It pairs well with tomato-based preparations, herb-forward sauces, and roasted or grilled proteins. Try it with thyme-roasted chicken, pork tenderloin with cranberry glaze, or a chickpea and eggplant stew seasoned with cumin and coriander.
