Tasting
Cuvée Fagon displays a deep colour and dark core. Its aromas of small red fruit and dark berries form a dense structure underpinned by woody notes and a hint of vanilla, caramel and coffee.Its strength is supported by a solid tannic backbone which indicates its exceptional cellaring potential.With bottle age it develops notes of liquorice, fresh leather and sloe.
