Tasting notes
Deep purple colour, slightly garnet-red and rich in reflections. Fruity bouquet, with rich aromas of blackcurrant, morello cherries, raspberries and blackberries, to which are added floral and liquorice or even peppery scents. On the palate, the tannins melt together to give way to a firm, velvety structure.
Food & wine pairing
Solid and yet charming, Irancy and its colourful juice invite you to dishes with strong and fleshy flavours. Grilled ribs (ribs of pork) are a zealous accompaniment, as the virile tannins are complemented by a beautiful aromatic power… The cheese platter can be composed of camembert, cantal, chaource, soumaintrain…
