Tasting comments
Château Mausse has a dark red color with ruby glints.
Powerful nose mixing aromas of red fruits (strawberry, black currant) and spices. The mouth is soft but with a good width, a great intensity, fruity and elegant.
The tannins are silky, the taste is well-balanced with a long after taste.
Delicious wine to be served with game meat, beef roast and French cheese.
