HISTORY
BOVIN / BULLOCK. n. m : 1-Animal of the bovine species. 2-Meat from this animal. 3- In music, a meeting of jazz musicians to play for their own pleasure : «Faire le Bœuf».
These promising definitions inspired this wine’s name «BOVIN». A tasty piece of beef accompanied by this red appellation wine, with a smooth jazz melody in the background and your taste buds will start to swing.

TASTING NOTES
Serve at 15°C.
Deep purple in colour, the nose develops elegant, dark fruit leading to a soft, velvet style on the palate, silky and well structured, long and complex on the finish with well balanced notes of roasted coffee beans and spice.
