Chateau Pas du Cerf Marlise 2018 Côtes de Provence is a powerful, elegant wine that showcases the craftsmanship of Château Pas du Cerf. This wine has an intense ruby-red colour and offers complex aromas of ripe red and black berries, Mediterranean herbs, and a light touch of toasted wood thanks to ageing in oak barrels. The wine has a full, layered taste with firm yet refined tannins that emphasise the structure of the wine. Flavours of ripe cherries, blackberries and a hint of spices such as black pepper and bay leaf come beautifully to the fore. The balance between fruity aromas and the spicy, earthy notes makes for a rich tasting experience. This wine is perfect to drink now, but also has an ageing potential of several years, during which its complexity will deepen further. The long, velvety finish makes the Marlise a wonderful companion to hearty meat dishes and rich cheeses.
Delicious with roast lamb, game dishes, and aged cheeses.
