Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Inspired by the Bordeaux terroir of “Calcaire d’Astéries”, this Cabernet Sauvignon driven wine offers dark black cherry and plum aromatics of a classic Medoc. The fresh herbs such as verbena and “bouquet garni” lingers in your mouth with great intensity. Pair this with “steak frites” for a perfect match in the stars!
