Petites Merveilles de Bordeaux : une grande variété de vins à découvrir.
Accords Met et Vin : Avec des viandes rouges, grillades, gibier, du camembert et tous les fromages bien affinés, ainsi que du fondant ou de la mousse au chocolat noir, de la tarte tatin.
Dégustation: Un vin puissant, raffiné, d’une grande complexité aromatique. Son équilibre parfait étonnera les plus fins dégustateurs. Vinifié pour tenir une longue garde, la Levrette rouge saura également satisfaire les amateurs de vins vieux. Vin avec des reflets rubis, contours intenses et vif au nez. Il développe des arômes de fruits noirs, d’épices et de vanille. Ce vin possède un très beau volume en bouche avec des tannins ronds et soyeux. La finale est longue.
A servir à 18-20°C.
Rating: 15.5/20 - As reviewed by Guide Bettane et Desseauve on 2009. Beau vin de garde au nez puissament fruité et boisé, à la bouche solidement campée sur ses tanins et sur une trame savoureuse.
Rating: Bronze medal - As reviewed by DECANTER on 2008. Rich ripe fruit and new oak. Complex and integrated. Lot of fine polished tannins and excellent lenght.
