Tasting Notes/Food Pairing Suggestions
Dark burgundy color with purple hints at the edges. Aromas of new oak and wild herbs mingle nicely. Quite full-bodied with loads of ripe red cherry and plums flavors on the palate, along with notes of dried herbs on the very long finish. Suave and drinkable Malbec, though it should age nicely. Enjoy this one with all sorts of grilled or roasted meats, pasta with rich sauces, and especially dishes with sautéed mushrooms. An exciting substitute for the usual Rhone red.About the Name/Label
Domaine du Theron is named after the Chateau du Theron, a medieval castle that sits directly adjacent to the winery and gives the local area, Le Theron, its name. Le Theron is the domaine’s top cuvée from its finest vineyards. The label image is an artist’s rendition of the newly refurbished winery as it sits perched up on a hill where it enjoys a panoramic view of the valley and Lot River below.
