PAIRINGS Red meats and game but also aged cheeses.

TASTE Mineral and savory. The tannic component is important in the volume but elegant and soft in the closure of the taste sensations.

NOTES The bottle is an antique green Borgognotta, the shape and color underline the importance of the wine contained. The cork is made of natural cork, carefully chosen and analyzed to exclude any anomalous variations in the organoleptic impact of the wines. The label is 100% natural cotton fiber paper. The print finishes are a Luxoro Gold foil. The punch with cuts on the scratches allow a glimpse of the shiny glass. A precious tin capsule with Luxoro Gold foil enhancements seals La Griffe des Lions wines. La Griffe des Lions is packaged exclusively in wooden boxes, the bottles are wrapped in an Ecru Sable tissue from Papeteries Montsegur.
