Tasting Notes

NOSE:
The nose of Cigalus Rouge is deep and complex, with intense aromas of blackcurrant, blackberries, and dark cherries, complemented by spicy notes of black pepper, clove, and hints of vanilla from the oak aging. Subtle notes of leather, tobacco, and earthy tones add further layers of complexity.

TASTE:
On the palate, this wine is full-bodied and velvety, with a rich, concentrated texture. Flavors of ripe dark fruit are enhanced by notes of dark chocolate, espresso, and a touch of herbs like thyme and rosemary.

FINISH:
The tannins are well-structured and smooth, leading to a long, harmonious finish with lingering notes of spice and black fruit.

Food Pairing

Gérard Bertrand - Cigalus Rouge pairs well with rich, flavorful dishes. It is an excellent companion for grilled or roasted meats, such as beef, lamb, or game, particularly when seasoned with herbs like rosemary or thyme. The wine's bold tannins and spice also make it a great match for hearty stews, braised short ribs, or slow-cooked lamb shank. For cheese pairings, consider hard cheeses like aged Gouda, Parmesan, or a sharp Cheddar. The wine’s complex profile allows it to complement dishes with strong flavors, such as wild mushroom risotto, duck confit, or charcuterie. Additionally, it pairs wonderfully with dark chocolate-based desserts, enhancing the wine's rich fruit and cocoa notes.
