In this category I have gathered all the wines for which I had a crush during my tastings. Sometimes it's an exceptional vintage, sometimes it's an excellent value for money, but also a wine with extraordinary taste qualities or an atypical aromatic richness.
You will find both small entry-level cuvées and great gastronomic wines. Their profiles can be totally different, light wines or on the contrary powerful wines, but they all have one factor in common: they are very well made and deserve our full attention.
- Nose: elegant. Notes of blackcurrant, blackberry and cold tobacco.
- Palate: full and shaped by fine tannins. Slightly woody finish.
Tasting date: November 2024.
OUR OPINION: still a young vintage, but very promising and already pleasant to drink. A short decanting will allow it to open up.
- Nose : intensely fragrant and complex. Luscious notes of blackcurrant, blueberry and black cherry, with a hint of sweet spices and chocolate.
- Palate : full-bodied, structured by silky tannins. Long-lasting aromas. Dark berry finish.
Tasting date : October 2024.
OUR OPINION : a very successful vintage, balanced, silky and delicious, of perfect quality. A real favourite!
