Tasting notes
Symbol of a time when the arts of the Kingdom of France were at their peak, this wine "Les Deux Amis" refers to the fable of Jean de La Fontaine, contemporary of the founder of the Château: Jean François de La Chaize d'Aix.
Commented by Olivier Poussier:
Color : A beautiful dark ruby color
Nose : The nose is open on a typical Gamay fruit, cherry, raspberry. The whole reveals itself easily on a slightly sweet fruity tone. I think the wine is undergoing a bit of solar maturity.
Palate : The palate has more flavor, the heart of the palate is half-powerful. The tannic relief is fine and the wine has the smooth and digestible character of light terroirs. It is a vintage that will be ready to drink in its youth, it is drinkable and easy to understand.
Service temperature : 57°F
