Gerard Bertrand Cigalus Rouge 2016

Intense ruby color with a mahogany hue. First, the bouquet shouts concentrated, very ripe black fruit. After a little time in the glass, more complexity with grilled spice and toasted oak unfolds. The palate is lush and opulent with velvety tannins. The aromas of black fruit -blackberries, black cherries, and plums - reappear with a complex empyreumatic web leading into mint. The finish is long with a perfect balance.

To be opened one or two hours before serving at 16°C, perfect with roasted red meat, poultry "en sauce" or ripened cheese.
