Agree ? A Rasteau Rouge from Maison Gabriel Meffre cuvée Domaine du Grand Destré 2019. This summer dish goes perfectly with this Rasteau. From its intense garnet color with purple reflections, woody aromas and fresh fruit emerge. The palate is supple, and reveals notes of spices and red fruits, with a beautiful structure, which goes well with the crunchiness of sesame and arugula. All with a certain freshness. The summer season is off to a good start! We wish you a nice tasting!
