Fragrant red currant, wild raspberry and crushed violets rise first, followed by subtle graphite and fresh herbs. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, silky tannins and bright acidity that keeps the red fruit lively and precise. Hints of black tea and gentle earth add complexity through a clean, lifted finish. Ideal with duck breast, roasted beet and goat cheese salad, mushroom tart, grilled salmon, or charcuterie with cornichons and Dijon. “Soif de Tendresse,” meaning thirst for tenderness, reflects a softer, more approachable expression.
