​Menu by Chef Johan Ducroquet

2012, Ch. d’Aiguilhe
​
Region: Castillon-Côtes de Bordeaux
Variety: Cabernet Franc, Merlot

Rich texture with layered blackfruit aromas. The mouthfeel exudes a smoky depth and a good concentration. An elegant Bordeaux wine.

2014, Clos Marsalette
​
Region: Pessac-Léognan
Variety: Bordeaux blend

A full-bodied red with blackfruit, chocolate and spice aromas with soft and layered tannins. Savoury finish with earthy tones. The most exuberant Pessac-Léognan!

​2011, Clos de l’Oratoire
​
Region: Saint-Émilion
Variety: 90% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc​

With its pronounced fruity aromas, Clos de l'Oratoire is a smooth, soft, very seductive wine. With an up-front, medium to full-bodied, fleshy style, it is a treat to drink now.

2006, Ch. Canon-La Gaffelière
​
Region: Saint-Émilion
Variety:  55% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Franc, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon

​There is always a floral side to enhance its fruitiness, with hints of forest floor. A great pleasure on both the nose and the palate. Fine and delicate.​
