Pairs nicely with lamb and sausages.

Beginning with heavily-perfumed aromas tinged with violets, the nose flows into full, round and juicy flavors with a nice savory f inish.

Beginning with heavily-perfumed aromas tinged with violets, the nose flows into full, round and juicy flavors with a nice savory finish. Caladoc is a 1958 cross of Grenache and Malbec which tends to make full-bodied, deeply colored and robust wines. It also has the advantage over Grenache in that it suffers less from coulure. Marselan, a 1961 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec, brings good depth of color too, appealing aromas and on the palate a structure of supple tannins. Paired with some Grenache, you have the encepagment which makes Domaine Pontbriand.
