TASTING NOTES
this is a luxurious and sweet wine complete with the rich aromas of liquorice, ripe fruits and spices. As a young wine, it is both elegant and strong. As it matures with the years, it acquires a new nobility with a taste that is balanced, round, rich and full, qualities that are particularly evident in the special vintages which age well and live long .
This wine is the result of the vinification of several wine varieties, namely:The Cinsault for its refined aroma. The Grenache for its ardour, roundness and fruit aromas. The Mourvèdre, a royal BANDOL wine variety whose local microclimate adaptation have provided the regional character of this wine with the perfumes of woods, liquorice, white hide leather, and its structure, with quality tannins and a long and beautiful taste.
BACKGROUND
The Dumoutier family has cared for this estate for over two hundred years. Over the years, they have been able to preserve all the local and typical characteristics of this wine.Yields ares deliberately kept low : 37 hl per hectare, enabling the wine to fully blossom and keep all its fragrance, body and flavour. At the same time, the family has not neglected the technical aspect, keeping up-to-date with technology, and aiming at new heights in expressing all the characteristics of this exceptional soil.
FOOD MATCHING
As a young wine, it is "sensational" with grilled meats and strong cheeses. As a more mature wine, it works in sublime harmony with game and meats in sauces.
