Calissanne red wine – Epidaurus

AOP Coteaux d’Aix-en-Provence, Chateau Calissanne, Owner-Grower, Sandeel of Provence (13).

Tasting

Very expressive with notes of forest fruits, musk and exotic wood, in the nose as in the mouth. Freshness and balance characterize this vintage, with a nice sweetness that makes it delicious, silky tannins and a finely crafted woodiness.
Rich and elegant.

This cuvée will be perfect with tasty meats such as duck with olives, the lamb, the stew …
The richness of its structure, the quality of its tannins will allow it to honor spicy dishes as well as characterful cheeses.
