Tasting notes :
Colour : A deep colour with mahogany and copper highlights.
Nose : A bewitching symphony of dried cherries and blood orange topped with dark chocolate, sublimated by deep notes of barrel-aged maduro tobacco. Gourmet touches of baking spices and pecans evoke the noble character of rancio.
Palate : The harmony of aromas continues with intense notes of black cherry, fig and dried plum, enhanced by the liveliness of redcurrant. Deep accents of black tobacco and cocoa intertwine with baking spices, vanilla and caramel, evoking a nutty lemon tart.
To be enjoyed neat, on the rocks or with a cigar.
Crus : Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne.
Ageing : in French oak barrels in a humid cellar.
