Description
This cuvée from Terre de L'Elu has an elegant and deep nose with liquorice notes. Then spices take
over, the palate delights with firm yet silky tannins. A wine that takes you out to sea !
In its youth, the wine will go well with lean, full flavored meat (lamb, roe deer... ) or with duck breast with cherries. With age, it will marry better with more mature or marinated meat (wild boar, beef...).
