After a first woody taste which will evolve over time, we will notice a tiny dark berry woodish note at the end. The palate is round and structured. Older, this wine will develop aromas of prunes and crystallized red fruits.

The attack is clear and elegant, supported by a nice roundness due to the good ripeness and long maceration. The elegant tannins are melted in a flexible and balanced structure which make this Chevreuse 2008 a rich wine, balanced with a long finish.

The recommended temperature is of 16 to 18 ° C. It goes well with refined traditional cuisine such as a fowl with mushrooms, a great roast lamb, duck. Grilled beef or lamb. Works also very well with foie gras, or traditional French cuisine like gratin. It can be savored alone and can compare to great names but so much less expensive.

It's already good to drink but will be at its peak around 2014. Can be enjoyed until 2018 minimum.
