COLOR

Mille 1 has an intense, almost blood-like red-purple colour, thick and compact, whose colour nuances verge on aubergine skin. Clean and with a generous body, it shows its extracts with a tight, full-bodied glyceric mass dripping from the glass.

NOSE

The nose is a peaceful invasion of floral scents such as cyclamen, violets and elderflower, followed by an explosion of fruity and spicy scents, above all blueberry and juniper, wood and cinnamon.

TASTE

In the mouth, sweet and silky taste patterns interweave; moraine strawberry, gooseberry and plum jam alternate in a coordinated palate balance with saltiness and powerful structure. Slight notes of French oak essence quickly evaporate.

FOOD PAIRING

Gastronomic pairings with Mille 1 can be classic but also eclectic: grilled red meats, braised and roasted meats, or baked turbot with potatoes or pasta and beans with fried prawns, sweetbreads and stewed fifth quarter or baby octopus salad.

SERVING TEMPERATURE

To be served at a temperature between 16 and 18° C in a wide-bowled close tulip-shaped glass.

TASTING NOTES

Ruby red, the bouquet opens with strong fruity notes, followed by light spicy notes in the finish, silky and soft on the palate.
