Les Hauts de Palette

AOC CÔTES DE BORDEAUX

TASTING

This wine has an intense ruby colour and develops an expressive bouquet where red fruits go well with spicy, vanilla and coconut notes left over from a twelve-month stay in barrels.

This balance is found in a silky, round, supple palate, with good volume, supported by quality tannins. A well-bred wine, with a beautiful structure and a beautiful length.

FOOD PAIRING

Steak with boletus mushrooms, duck breast and roasted figs with honey.
