Tasting Comment
Appearance
Cherry red colour, medium intensity.
Nose
The nose, of a beautiful intensity, reveals gourmand notes of ripe fruits enhanced by some vanilla notes. The whole is particularly pleasant.
Mouth
The palate offers a nice sweetness on the attack. It is a moderately powerful wine, well-balanced, with immediate drinkability. The lightness of this gourmet Tour de Ségur can be appreciated with duck sauerkraut, roast beef with vegetables or even quail stuffed with mushrooms.
