Wine characteristics:

• Dress : The dress of Les Amoureuses 2019 is deep red, with purplish reflections, highlighting the youth and the richness of this wine. The color is brilliant and intense, a signature of the great wines of Burgundy.

• Nose : The nose is elegant and refined, offering an explosion of fresh red fruits (raspberry, cherry) with shades of delicate flowers (pink, violet).

• Cheeses : Refined cheeses like the Brie de Meaux, the county or the Langres admirably complete this wine.
