VertdeVin Magazine n\u00b025 2024 :\u00a0“The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity. The first nose is fragrant and savory, with smoky (even slightly meaty) and spicy (white pepper, liquorice, vanilla, nutmeg) notes, which are associated with fresh and precise fruit aromas (morello cherry, red cherry, red plum, strawberry, crushed raspberry, blueberry) on the nose. We also find hebaceous (dried mint) and floral (dried rose, dried cornflower, violet) aromas, associated with a hint of torrefaction (coffee, toasted wood in the background). The palate is gourmand, round and savory. We find generous enveloping notes of ripe fruits (red cherry with a hint of roasted cherry, wild strawberry, crushed raspberry, red plum, dark chocolate plum, wild blackberry), a tasty side of sweet spices (liquorice, a touch of vanilla, nutmeg, whitepepper in the background), as well as a fine herbaceous and floral notes (dried mint, rose, cornflower). The tannins are fine, sapid and chocolatey. Beautiful persistence on the palate, with gourmandise of cherry in chocolate and the freshness of wild mint. Beautiful persistence with a smoky and chocolatey touch, balanced by a nice acidity.” 17\/20 (94\/100)<\/p>\n

\nThe noze is charming all in moderation and delicatesse. Exhales perfumes of red and black fruits (strawberry, raspberry, morello cherry and blackberry), some notes of liquorice stick and spices but also fragrances of white coffee and vanilla. The aeration adds notes of cigare box, wood that integrates without overpowering the fruit. With evolution we keep the tenderness, the delicatesse in a round and voluptuous wine. Already to its advantage with some tanins underlining the mouth ; we have a sensuality and pretty tannins on the palate. Successful overall with a pleasing vanilla finale with some oak aging notes that should melt with time. <\/span>91 pts – <\/span>Opinion D.V.E. : Beautiful excercise of style for this young wine with a very feminin aspect that can seduce us already.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\nVertdeVin Magazine 2021\u00a0: <\/strong>The nose us fruity and offers fleshiness.

\nThe noze is charming all in moderation and delicatesse. Exhales perfumes of red and black fruits (strawberry, raspberry, morello cherry and blackberry), some notes of liquorice stick and spices but also fragrances of white coffee and vanilla. The aeration adds notes of cigare box, wood that integrates without overpowering the fruit. With evolution we keep the tenderness, the delicatesse in a round and voluptuous wine. Already to its advantage with some tanins underlining the mouth ; we have a sensuality and pretty tannins on the palate. Successful overall with a pleasing vanilla finale with some oak aging notes that should melt with time. <\/span>91 pts – <\/span>Opinion D.V.E. : Beautiful excercise of style for this young wine with a very feminin aspect that can seduce us already.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n2018<\/h4><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>
