RED WINE VINEGAR
Elaborated from a blend of red wine selected for its structure and aromatic profile, this vinegar is made to measure by an artisanal manufacturer near Narbonne. The wine is transformed into vinegar and then patiently aged in French oak barrels for over a year to develop a fine and intense bouquet. The flavouring with Kampot pepper gives it an incomparable taste. Originally from the south of Cambodia, Kampot pepper is a black pepper remarkable for its delicate aromas and sweet spiciness. This craft vinegar goes well with exquisite dishes to enhance their savours and add new tangs.
