The wines of this appellation

The wines are similar in style to the Saint-Emilion satellite appellations although they tend to be less tannic and take a few years to mellow. Their hue is intense and they are well-constituted, powerful, well-balanced and fleshy. They develop aromas of prunes, spices and animal notes. They are suitable partners for red meats either grilled or served with a sauce, game or mature cheeses.
