Bonnigal-Bodet Vignerons - Touraine - Diabolicôt - Rouge - 2022

Wine:

The 2022 Red Diabolicôt highlights the intense fruity character of a ripe Touraine, with aromas of blue plum jam. This cuvée is concentrated, fresh, and juicy, featuring fine yet noticeable tannins and subtle oak aging. It pairs perfectly with rich meats like beef stew, shank, civets, or oxtail with caramelized carrots and red wine sauce.
