La Grande Rue Grand Cru Monopole

Black cherry is layered with dried herbs, tea leaf and discreet wood spice. The palate is medium-full and deeply ripe, yet the fruit remains precise and pure, with a dusty, sappy texture and enough freshness to keep the weight in balance. Savoury spice carries through the long finish. Decant carefully and serve with duck, venison, roast lamb or mushrooms.
