NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Les Crêtes Fumin is a delightful red wine from the Savoie region of France.This wine has a deep ruby red color with intense aromas of ripe red fruits, earthy spices, and a hint of leather. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with soft tannins and a refreshing acidity. The flavors are of ripe cherry, blackberry, and hints of spice, all wrapped in a velvety mouthfeel. The finish is long and inviting, with a lingering hint of tartness. This is an excellent food wine that pairs perfectly with game, roasted meat, and dishes with a touch of spice.
