Baron de Gascq

AOC BORDEAUX ROUGE

TASTING

To the eye, a deep garnet Bordeaux red. Still a little discreet with a pretty woody nose, fresh red fruits, tobacco. Round and supple, evolving with a pretty floral base.

The tannins are velvety on the palate, very fine and sufficiently dense.

FOOD PAIRING

Ideal with braised duck breast or with a cheese platter.
