Saint-Emilion Aged in oak barrels Legend has it that the real vineyard dates back to Roman times. Its initial development took place in the 13th century. With this prestigious appellation, ageing in oak barrels for 8 to 10 months brings a host of tannins. Fortin Plaisance is crafted from different, carefully selected estates.

Tasting A splendid, deep ruby red colour. The nose carries notes of old leather, quince, black cherry and toast. The silky initial taste blossoms on the palate into a medium to full body with a good balance between the fruit and the wood. A warm, aromatic finish leaves the palate with pleasant, toasted flavours.

Food pairingAppreciate with red and white meat in a sauce and also with soft cheese.
