Jacques Tissot's Tasting Notes
Bouquet
Garnet red, brilliant and limpid, with glints of ruby.
A very intense nose of red fruits with light notes of humus and peppery spices.
Palate
Frank and full on the palate, with big, silky, typical Trousseau tannins.
Again the flavours are of red fruits and pepper.
Ageing Potential
From eight to twelve years.
Wine and Food Pairing
Perfect with a steak, small game cooked in sauce, or a cheese board.
Best served between 12 and 14°C.
