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!
Match it with: Lean, full flavoured meat (lamb, deer... ) or with duck breast with cherries, in its youth. With age, it will marry better with more mature or marinated rich meat (wild boar, beef...).
