Nose

Typical aromas of Cigare: Damson plum, griotte cherry and licorice, but with a basso continuo beneath of maybe summer truffles and forest floor.

Palate

What is most remarkable about the wine is its texture – extremely lush and velveteen.

Appearance

A deep, bright color, with almost bluish hints.

Food Pairing

All manner of cute creatures: rabbit, tiny birds, etc. Rabbit in Mustard Sauce (We suggest our Cigare Blanc mustard for this dish). Beef Kidneys. Stilton. Braised Oxtail.
