the appellation produces red wines, rosés made predominantly using the ‘bleeding’ method, and white wines. The red wines are supple and aromatic: stewed fruit (prune, blackcurrant, raspberry) and spices (pepper, vanilla). Try with poultry, leg of lamb, grilled meat, game or cheese. The rosés are fresh, pleasant wines (red fruit, exotic fruit). They combine power with finesse, which makes them the ideal partner for barbecued meats, delicately-flavoured cooked cold pork meats, white meat, or fruit salad. The white wines are dry, aromatic and extremely fruity. They sit nicely alongside shellfish or fish.
