LES NOYERS 2022
Our expression of Tannat!
“2022, a generous, sunny vintage”
Character, elegance and potential...
Born at l’Esquillouté place formerly planted with walnut trees.
Today, Tannat is cultivated there: dark like walnut husk and robust like a walnut tree!
A rich, complex nose of black fruit, licorice, cinnamon and vanilla notes.
Harmonious on the palate, with présent, well-coated tannins.
Character, elegance, generous shapes and subtle aromas with melted woody notes.
16°C / Accompanies Gascon cuisine, grilled or slow-cooked beef, tajines, Pyrenean cheeses, chocolate...
This is a wine to drink now to enjoy its black fruit aromas and freshness, or to age for ten years or more.
