This vintage embodies the characteristic depth and elegance of the Sainte-Foy appellation. In the glass, it presents a deep ruby hue, with aromas of ripe red and black fruits, layered with notes of herbs, vanilla, and clove. The wine offers a well-balanced structure, featuring silky tannins, a touch of graphite, and vibrant acidity, leading to a long, satisfying finish. This wine is crafted using sustainable viticulture practices, and while enjoyable now, it also promises aging potential. It's an ideal match for red meats, game, or mature cheeses
