Wine tasting
  • Tasting Note
    With a nice ruby red colour and garnet-red lights, our Santenay Rouge 2014 reveals blackcurrant and morello cherry notes. On the palate, is it ample and aromatic. Delicate aromas of berries and cherry. A very plaisant wine with supple tannins.

    Rabbit terrine - beef in wine sauce - foie gras with apples - Brie cheese.
