Le Roi Rouge
Cabernet Sauvignon
France, Languedoc-Roussillon
Cabernet Sauvignon
The nose is intense, elegant, and subtly powerful, revealing notes of wild strawberry, small red berries, and hints of crisp plum. Light touches of rosewood, dried olive, discreet licorice, and a faint hint of pepper appear in the background. The palate is fruity, smooth, and juicy, with a fine creaminess, a touch of richness, and precise, fresh fruit expression supported by a refined minerality. It shows pulpy redcurrant, juicy blackcurrant, and subtle strawberry, with hints of cherry, fresh flowers, delicate minerality, olive, licorice, and spice. The tannins are precise and smooth. The Cabernet Sauvignon is perfect as an accompaniment to dishes cooked in herbs such as a rack of lamb or pork tenderloin.
