long-keeping wine

haute couture

Emblematic of the Cévenne ardéchoise region, Chatus is available here in "haute couture" style. Le Temps qui reste can be found in Michelin-starred establishments such as Bocuse, Pic... Rediscover this forgotten grape variety with its strong character and surprising charisma. Powerful and tannic, this red wine reveals notes of black fruit, prunes, leather, quince paste and cigar. Deep, it can be appreciated after no less than half a day of aeration. Intriguing, original and full-bodied are the key words for this Ardèche red.

An interesting way of discovering a little-known grape variety, but it has to be said that the q/p ratio is not up to scratch.
