Discover the grape variety: Léon Millot
Coloured, fruity reds with a dense purple robe, supple tannins and fresh acidity, showing aromas of black cherry, blackberry, plum, blackcurrant, sweet spices and earthy, slightly foxy notes. Round palate, best drunk young. Very cold- and disease-resistant interspecific variety, driving northern vineyards: Canada (Quebec, Ontario, Nova Scotia), the US North-East and England. Hybrid created in 1911 by Eugène Kuhlmann in Alsace, full sibling of maréchal foch.
