La Souteronne - Herve Souhaut 

La Souteronne by Herve Souhaut is a red wine obtained from pure Gamay grapes from vines with an average age of 40 years. Spontaneous vinification and maceration for 10 to 21 days in wooden vats or stainless steel tanks. Refines in used oak barriques for 6 months. Explosive nose, violet, freshly roasted coffee beans, stone. In the mouth the wine develops a powerful structure, blended tannins and good acidity. Harmonious finish on fruity notes. Great drinkability.

Service

We taste it at a temperature of 16/18° in tulip chalice. Wine to drink immediately but will express the best of itself in a few years. It is recommended to keep it in a horizontal position in a fresh, damp, dark cellar.

Pairing

Great red wine to match with first courses, second courses of meat, to try with a duck in wet.
