Tasting: its rich ruby red brings an extravagant touch to all occasions. The refreshing fragrance spectrum of AOC Château Pavie-Decesse Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé of fruit compote, spices and tobacco shows aromatic complexity and great culinary potential. The dominant notes of black cherry, black plum and black pepper shape its individual texture. With moderate and finely developed tannins, a strong body and a dominant acidity, this fruity red wine shows its masterful structure. |
