The 2019 Pour Le Vin Cerise sur le Gâteau Cabernet Sauvignon is a smooth, fruit-driven Cabernet Sauvignon from the Pays d'Oc in southern France. Crafted in a modern, approachable style, the wine highlights the generous fruit character that thrives in the warm Mediterranean climate while retaining freshness and balance. The nose is expressive, offering aromas of blackcurrant, plum and black cherry layered with black pepper, sweet spice and subtle herbal notes. True to its name - Cerise sur le Gâteau ("the cherry on the cake") - it delivers an effortlessly enjoyable and crowd-pleasing style.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with soft, rounded tannins and a juicy core of dark berry fruit. Flavours of cassis, blackberry and ripe plum are complemented by hints of pepper and gentle spice, leading to a smooth, satisfying finish with excellent drinkability. Rich without being heavy, it is a versatile Cabernet Sauvignon that offers outstanding value and everyday appeal.
